Q & A - About Gymnastics and U-M
| Why do you like doing gymnastics? |
|
It gives me an opportunity
to be a part of a college sports team and
represent the University of Michigan in another
way besides academics. It makes you stand
out from the rest of the crowd, teaches you
tolerance, patience, organization, dedication,
community, and how to work hard. |
| What is your favorite event
or routine? Why? |
|
I like beam and floor because
they are more aesthetic and involve more expression. |
| |
|
|
| What attracted you
to the University of Michigan? |
|
Home town, what can I
say, it's great all around and will prepare
me for a life after college. |
| What has been your
most memorable gymnastics moment at Michigan? |
|
Every time our team is
at the NCAA Nationals. That is the top for
college, and just being there is a great feeling.
And anytime our team gets on a role...Like
a few Big Ten Championships! |
| |
|
|
| What has been your biggest
challenge/obstacle in gym or college (or both)?
How did your overcome this challenge? |
|
In the gym, it has been fear,
and more fear, when my body is tired and sore,
and if I am by chance cranky. Pushing through
the tough days are hard, but you just hope
that you learn something and eventually good
will return. In college, it is when you have
so much to do that you feel like you aren't
going to make it...it feels that way, but
trust me you'll make it. And, you'll be happy. |
| What has been your most
embarrassing moment in the gym (ever)? |
|
Nothing specific, bust basically
anytime that I have a "blond" moment. |
| What goes through
your head immediately before a routine? |
|
Nerves, worries,
and then lots of good thoughts pushing those
away. I sometimes feel like my mind is blank
and I just hear myself saying be strong, you're
great, you're tough, you got it, anything
to pump myself up. |
| |
|
|
| What advice would you
share with up-and-coming Michigan gymnasts? |
|
Take each day for what
it is, make the best of each day, and if you
can't, there is always tomorrow. And remember
that gymnastics is only a part of who you
are, you do it to become a better, stronger,
and more all around person. Take advantage
of it, and make it fun because the four years
goes really fast. |
| What is your favorite
part of the gym meets? |
|
The crowd, the claps,
the smiles, the stuck landings, and of course....the
hugs. |
| Other than Michigan,
where is your favorite place to compete and
why? |
|
Any where warm and pretty

Q & A - About You Personally
What is something
that people would be surprised to know about
you?
I want to write
a screenplay.
How would your teammates
describe you?
Cheerful, smiley, or
happy.
Who is one
of your role models and why?
Anyone who has
worked hard and gone from the bottom to
the top. And everyone who has found success
in their own way.
What do you want
to be when you grow up?
I want to work in the
film industry, as a creative executive and
director. I want to put movies together,
write, produce, whatever, see some great
idea and then make it happen. And have a
family.
Besides gymnastics,
what is one thing that you do well?
Listen and support.
If you were given
$431,718 how would you spend it?
Put a down payment
on a house??? or just put it in my account
for now. Or, just give it to my parents.

have any superpower, what would it be?
To fly or be able
to become invisible.
What’s the
best way to show your Michigan spirit?
Through the smile on
my face and perform all around the best
that I can....and pass on how wonderful
Michigan is. Keep the alumni ties and the
Michigan spirit even after I graduate.
Since beginning college
one thing I’ve learned is that…
What goes around
comes around, and nothing comes easy.
