Gymnastics, especially in my family, is more than a sport. It's our life, it's our careers, it's our family business.

I dont want to repeat my mistakes.

Set daily, monthly and long term goals and dreams. Don't ever be afraid to dream too big. Nothing is impossible. If you believe in yourself, you can achieve it.

At the 2012 Olympic Trials, I wanted to make a second Olympic team. I fell face first, and in a blink of an eye, my dreams of competing in a second Olympics were over. Even so, I got up, finished my routine, and saw twenty thousand people cheering. It was my first standing ovation.

Finish what you start, no matter how painful it may be.

Without my parents and their love and support in my life, I would not be who I am or where I am today.

Today, I find inspiration in music, art, traveling the world, and meeting new people.
