Thank You: First, I would like to thank my family for all the unconditional love and support they gave me during all my 12 years in gymnastics. No matter the hardships or the successes, my family members are my biggest fans. I’m so grateful to have my parents attend every competition and being the loudest cheerers by far on the sidelines! Secondly, I would like to thank my coaches who have encouraged me and molded me into not only the gymnast, but the person I am today. Their faith in me has pushed me into meeting limits I never thought I would meet. Last, but not least, I would like to thank my teammates for always being there for me no matter what. The bond we created together will never be replaced and I will always keep you girls close to my heart, forever.

Words Of Wisdom:  The sport of Gymnastics always comes down to the question of; How bad do you want it? Practicing everyday in the gym has taught me that even through the fear and mental blocks, you have to find something deep down to believe that you can do it. If gymnastics was easy, anyone could do it, but it takes the strong ones to keep persevering  through the blood, sweat, and tears, to finally gain that successful feeling.

Believing in yourself is the biggest factor not only in this sport but in life as well. If you have faith in yourself, you can do anything your heart desires :)
