If you really put your mind to it, anything is possible.
There's... a stigma that says Asian Americans are more the nerdy type, so for me to be a part of this successful sports team... means a lot.
It’s just skating, and I’ll survive, but at the same time, it’s hard because I’ve worked so long for this moment. It’s not the way I wanted it to go, but at the same time I’m telling everybody, you can fall and still get up and keep going.
