best criteria full multiple olympic prepared
To have full and multiple criteria is the best way to decide who is best prepared to be on that Olympic team.
quite
The SoCal weather can't be beat, but I just haven't quite been able to embrace the lifestyle.
life normal school
Some skaters, they live for skating, and they are home-schooled. I'm very lucky my parents let me go to school and have a normal life.
people sports
Skating is one of those sports you unfortunately see people get stuck in.
above goes people score somehow sports watch
People don't want to watch a sport where you see people fall down and somehow score above someone who goes clean.
work
Nothing has been easy for me... I've always had to work for everything I've gotten and everything I've accomplished.
parents school
My parents told me, 'Skating is a privilege, not a right, and school always comes first.'
might
In 2010, I was 17 or 18 and thought, 'Yeah, the Olympics, that might happen.'
army constant hold life proud skating
I'm so proud to be an Army brat, but it was not an easy life. Moving around so much, skating was that one constant thing I had to hold on to.
I'm always looking for a way to give myself something new as a person.
I'm a strong-headed person, and you can always tell how I'm feeling in that moment.
I went through my awkward teenage years. I don't want to go back.
I was very much a tomboy. I just couldn't do the pink ballet tutus.
sports
I want to stay involved in sports in one way or another.
