Every day is a new day, and ultimately, I have to figure out what works each day.
It's crazy how fast time flies and how things progress.
Never give up. There are always tough times, regardless of what you do in anything in life. Be able to push through those times and maintain your ultimate goal.
Every day's a new day.
Regardless of what I do, no matter how good it is, it's never, in my mind, 'flawless.'
I want to do something in medicine, for sure. I don't know what, exactly, that entails, but something along those lines.
I start in the morning with something like a breakfast burrito and a smoothie, something that gives me enough protein and carbs to start my day.
It's something I have to remind myself about, that at every competition, I put a lot of pressure on myself, almost like it's the end of the world, and I have to keep reminding myself it's not.
Once I landed the triple Salchow, I put it in the program. First landed triple toe, straight into the program. That's what I did with my quad suite.
Ever since I started skating, making the Olympic team was my ultimate dream. It's what has inspired and motivated me throughout my entire career.
A lot of the things I do outside the rink are just to relax and recover. We spend so much time at the rink, so it's nice to decompress a little.
Every competition is different... You can't plan for everything that happens.
Throughout the day, I'll snack a lot. I always have some breakfast cereal, like Kellogg's cereal, something on hand, so that I can just quickly get some carbs in.
My skating career won't last forever.
My parents always enforce the idea of never giving up upon all of my siblings and me, and I think that's something that will stick with me my whole life.
Largely, I began skating because I wanted stuff to do outside of school. My mom decided to put me into figure skating.
I really wanted to play hockey. My mom thought figure skates looked easier to use, so she put me in the learn-to-skate program.
There are always benefits and good things, bad things that come out of every performance.
I am a first-generation American of Chinese decent. My parents were both born and raised in China and moved to the U.S. in their 20s.
That's something I'm actually very interested in doing, helping young skaters.
