You've received lots of fan mail, with people saying how much they look up to you and that you’re their inspiration as young gymnasts. How does this make you feel? and what do you want to tell other young gymnasts?
Getting all of the fan mail is awesome. I never imagined in a million years that I would inspire so many people. Im so greatful for all of the words of encouragement I have received and it has been amazing to see that so many people were right there with me every step of the way during the Olympics. I would tell young gymnast that anything is possible. There will be ups and downs in gymnastics but if you set goals you can accomplish them if your heart really wants it bad enough
