I had to face a lot coming through this journey, a lot of sacrifices, difficulties, challenges, and injuries.
The hard work definitely paid off and hard work always does.
Don’t be shy. Go for it and ask your crush out.
I’m not gonna lie, I love Usain Bolt and Serena Williams. What I love about Serena is that she just gets on the floor and she dominates. She handles her business very well, I respect that.
I want to do all roles. The skys the limit.
I would love to be a role model.
Sometimes I like to watch videos of myself and see how confident I was.
My mom says I’m a fighter, a fierce competitor, and I think I am, too.
I wanted to tell my story and where I came from and my background, because it was not easy.
I kind of do think of myself as a superhero and just flying high, and doing these crazy flips.
I googled ‘Gabby Douglas,’ and all these things popped up like ‘Gabby Douglas makes history!’ And ‘She’s the champion!’
My mom used to tell me when I was little, ‘When it rains, it’s God’s manifestation – a big day’s waiting to happen.’
I used to have this lucky rock and I used to always have to rub it three times before I competed.
I think I would go for a Michael Phelps kind of guy.
I just want to continue with gymnastics because I’m still young and fresh. I think can get some more titles under my belt.
Nothing is going to change. I’m going to wear my hair like this during beam and bar finals. You might as well stop talking about it.
I’ve been on a tweeting mission.
I like squirrels. Theyre so adventurous.
It’s definitely important to have your mom and family there to back you up and cheering from the stands.
Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me.
It’s very tough for me to focus. I’m like: ‘Look, something shiny! No, focus. Oh, there goes a butterfly!’
