I think about my goals. There were a lot of times in gymnastics when I really didn't want to go in and train, but you can't make it to the Olympics if you don't train!

I still can't believe I'm an Olympic athlete.

I've never had a teammate competing with me my whole life.

I set my phone with motivational quotes to go off on random days and times. Like, 'You're stronger than you think you are.' I'll forget about it, then one will pop up and it'll give me a little boost.

With literature, sometimes a book is presented in the media as being say, a Muslim story or an African story, when essentially it's a universal story which we can all relate to it, no matter what race or social background we come from

Injury taught me I need to learn how to face challenges.

After 13 years of hard landings in gymnastics, one ski run had delivered the biggest injury of my career.
