Yeah, I think that is definitely something that I thought about a lot.

Really?

And my dad later on told me that if I didn't make it by the time I was 13, like we wouldn't be able to afford it anymore because my parents invested everything into my sport, which is such a risky decision, honestly, to make.

But I didn't know that.

And funny enough, at 13, I started doing really well and started to like, you know,

Kill it in my sport.

But I think the most pressure I felt from them was actually as we got closer to my first Olympics, because I think that was the dream.

I finally did it.

I qualified for Sochi when I was 13.

I don't know if you know this.

Okay.

I was too young to compete.

I qualified in second.

So I wasn't able to go.

So I feel like there was so much anticipation that built from that moment.

And once I was getting closer, like that 2016-17 season was the scariest season of my life.

Just the air every time I walked into the spaces was just so tense and stressful.

I feel like everyone's getting really intense, hoping to qualify for the games.

Now I'm

in contention to qualify for the games like my i had to have a sit down with my parents it's like guys this doesn't feel good really this feels really intense like i understand that you guys you know obviously want this for me and i do too but i need a sense of normalcy because everywhere else i go does not feel normal either so i just need home to feel like home wow yeah
