Shawn Johnson
  • Something my mom taught me when I was little is that everything happens for a reason.

  • Gymnastics taught me everything - life lessons, responsibility and discipline and respect.

  • I was at the Olympic Games winning medals and I still doubted my image. I doubted what I looked like. That's sad.

  • I'm trying to stay as calm as possible and focus one day at a time, but when reality sets in, I feel everything: anxiety, excitement, nerves, pressure and joy.
