Neither of my parents they've never pushed me into gymnastics. They kind of pushed me the other way when I was little, just starting gymnastics. They knew how hard it was and you know going through all the injuries. It's a really hard sport and I know they kind of didn't want me to do it but then again when I started and they saw how much I love it they just want the best for me and they wanted me to do what I really love."
