I'm 17 Years Old And

I Love Where I'm From. I Don't Live There Because Of The Circumstances, But All My Family Is There. It's What's Inside, It's Not What's Outside That Determines The Culture And The Feeling.

I Love What I Do And I Love Being An Athlete, But I Also Love All The Things That Have Come With It.

My Shoulder's Not Where I Want It To Be, But I'm Doing A Good Job Of Monitoring It.

I Don't Need Many Things. I Don't Need Glamour And Attention To Be Happy. I'm Very Happy Being Settled And Working My Butt Off And Trying To Win Grand Slams.

Of Course, Everyone Knows My Story Of Being Born In Russia And Moving To The United States At 7. For A Few Years People Would Say, 'well, She's Living In The United States, But She's Russian.'
