Sometimes when my mom finds a fun article and really wants me to read it, I will. But I prefer to just kind of focus on what I want to do and not really what other people are saying, because I don't want that to affect me too much.

Sometimes we complain, but there is something beautiful about waking up before everyone to get better at what we love.

I'm just an all-around happy girl who loves everything about her life.

A huge part of swimming for me is I love it, and it is so much fun.

The goal is to keep having fun. Not let that pressure get to me and still be Missy.

I don't think about the trials and the Olympics a lot. If I do, it's just going to stress me out and get me worried.

I'm always so excited about what I do that I try to get everyone to feel that way.
