I've had to make really big decisions, knowing the results were not always in my control. Through these moments, I've learned to be daring and take risks but understand that everything always happens for a reason.

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.

I'm showing the younger generation your career doesn't have to be over when you're 16-years-old.

I'm just trying to really take it one day at a time, because for me - and I know this sounds cliche, whatever - I achieved my ultimate goal, and nothing can really top that, you know?

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

Being with someone I love and care about to feed off positive energy is crucial.

When I was much younger and still competing in gymnastics, I could rarely find inspiration outside of the sport.
