Why do you compete/train in the Martial Arts? What made you want to train in Wushu and/or compete in the Nationals to qualify for Worlds?	Training in martial arts is what keeps me fit and teaches me things about life that I need to face the world, namely confidence and determination. The main drive to compete and try to qualify for the world championships began as a child's dream to be on the national team, seeing the bigger kids doing crazy jumps and having fun.
What are your future goals in Wushu and in life?	Future goals in wushu would be continuing to use it to learn about myself and what I need to do to succeed in life. But in my future life outside of wushu, it would be to become a determined and successful person doing whatever I need to do.... with regards to computer science.
Any words of advice or encouragement to people interested in Wushu?	It's not as hard as it looks, it just takes time and alot of determination, otherwise, it's all fun and games. Don't be alarmed when your coach tells you to do a certain move a million times, it's all for the better.
Favorite Quote :	Pain is temporary, pride is forever.
