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

Gymnastics is not only a good thing to live by, but it is important to understand how it does help you in life.

There's always a chance. Anything can happen.

I fell in love with gymnastics. I love what I do now. I work with people that I love to be around. Success comes from that.

Gymnastics has made me strong. I feel like it broke me down to my lowest point, but at the same time, it has given me the greatest strength anyone could ask for.

I fell in love with running, and I finally have time to do it now.

In 2008 I didn't take it all in enough. I was so wrapped up in just the competition that I missed what was going on around me. If I am given that opportunity again to go to the Olympics and be an athlete I want to take it all in because I feel like this is my last shot and I want to feel the team spirit. I want to really live and breathe the USA.
