I want to make sure I always show off my smile and have a positive attitude the whole time, whether it's during a performance, practice, or doing an interview.

Sometimes you just don't know what to say.

I think it's amazing that I can go out there and be myself, and the fact that I'm carrying Puerto Rico on my back a little bit is such an honor.

No matter what race or color you are, you can aspire to do something great.

I think people are people. If you want something, go get it. I don't think it matters what race you are.

I feel that, every day, God molds me into someone that He wants me to be. So if that means just, like, talking to teammates and helping them out, or, like, every so often I'll post a Bible verse on Twitter or Instagram.

My parents have tried not to intrude. They kind of stayed apart from my gymnastics but are very supportive, and that's very helpful as a gymnast to not have your parents say, 'Did you do this today?' and just be very on top of you.

I am second-generation American, and my grandparents are from Puerto Rico.

People have seen me at my best, but I don't think most of them know everything that it took to get me to where I am today.
