My Mom Used To Tell Me When

The Hard Work Definitely Paid Off And Hard Work Always Does.

For Me Going Down In History Being The First Black American To Win The Gold, I Think More Colored People Are Going To Start Coming To The Gymnastics World And Say 'okay, Anything Is Possible. If Gabby Did It, Then I Can Do It Too.'

Serena Williams [ispires Me]. The First Time I Met Her, She Was Like, "we Should Hang Out And Go To Dinner," And I'm Like, "uh, Yeah! If You Insist."

You Need Your Mom And Dad To Protect You. It Means They Love You So Much. It Was Awesome She Was Backing Me Up And Defending Me.

Gymnastics Does Take Great Focus And Concentration. What I Do Is Look To My Coach. He Keeps Me Focused. And I Meditate To Get Myself Confident Before The Competition Floor. That Helps Keep Me Focused, Too.
