Favorite inspirational quote: "Even if you boil the water to 99 degrees, if you can't raise that last one degree, the water will never boil. The last one degree that boils the water, that is pushing through the last one minute that makes you want to give up. You have to surpass that moment for the next door to be open." -Yuna Kim
Proudest moment in taekwondo: Competing in the 10th World Taekwondo Poomsae Championships with my teammates, being able to step on the mat knowing that I am representing the U.S.
