When I Was Younger, I

As An Athlete, I've Always Been Very Proud To Represent The United States.

You Can Always Say, 'i Wish I Had Landed That Triple Flip Better, Or I Wish I Didn't Fall.' They're Not Regrets, Just Mistakes.

Skating Takes Up 70 Percent Of My Time, School About 25 Percent. Having Fun And Talking To My Friends, 5 Percent. It's Hard. I Envy Other Kids A Lot Of Things, But I Get A Guilt Trip When I'm Not Training.

What I Love The Most Is Getting On The Ice And Just Popping In A Fabulous Cd And Skating - All By Myself, The Rink Completely Empty, Just Me And The Music.

At 13, I Was Fearless. I Looked At Everything So Positive. When You're Older And Been Through It All, You Know How Bad It Can Get. There Is A Fear Of Failing.
