Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and tears and effort in the gym every day.
I blast "Northern Sky," by the Capital Kings, on the way there, but at the gym, I totally zone out.
Words can't even describe how much Olympic medals means to me, because of all the hard work, sacrifice and effort I put in at the gym, and also because of how much my family supported me and sacrificed their dreams for mine. It also means a lot to me, knowing that I became the first African American to win the individual all-around gold medal.
I'd tell any girl who continues to love gymnastics enough to want pursue a college scholarship to keep pushing yourself 100% in the gym every single day.
