I had some really good days and some really, really bad days. But thankfully I had my family and friends to help me through it.

I like coming here when my friends are here.

When you're on a synchronized skating team, you make a lot of friends, so instead of competing by yourself and feeling the emotion of winning or losing or just working hard by yourself, you share it with other people.

They're my best friends; I love them. They are a big part of what pushed me today.

They have enough peer pressure to deal with as it is. I hope everything is taken care of and they don't have to go through this again.

(The students) were all saying the same things. You just don't know what kids will do these days.
