Favorite Quote:
You give up your childhood. You miss proms and games and high-school events, and people say it&#039;s awful... I say it was a good trade. You miss something but I think I gained more than I lost. Mary Lou Retton.<br /> <br /> Another quote by her: Each one of us ha&quot;Each one of us has a fire in our heart for something. It&#039;s our goal in life to find it and keep it lit.&quot;

Favorite Quote:
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
