I had to face a lot coming through this journey, a lot of sacrifices, difficulties, challenges, and injuries.

You just have to be yourself and go full with confidence and be courageous.

Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and tears and effort in the gym every day.

I accomplished something big and that's a memory I will never forget.

I googled 'Gabby Douglas,' and all these things popped up like 'Gabby Douglas makes history!' And 'She's the champion!'

I just want to continue with gymnastics because I'm still young and fresh. I think can get some more titles under my belt.

I think I would go for a Michael Phelps kind of guy.

I used to have this lucky rock and I used to always have to rub it three times before I competed.

I wake up at about 9 a.m., and have a few hours of school or time to relax. Then, I have practice at 2:30 p.m. with my team.

I wanted to tell my story and where I came from and my background, because it was not easy.

I would love to be a role model.

I've been on a tweeting mission.

I've learned how to stay humble. I don't want to get in over my head because when you do that it takes you off your game.

The hard work definitely paid off and hard work always does.

I'm not gonna lie, I love Usain Bolt and Serena Williams. What I love about Serena is that she just gets on the floor and she dominates. She handles her business very well, I respect that.
