It's been such an incredible season. As a first year international Senior, I competed at two Grand Prixs, made the US Olympic Team, and won a small medal for the Worlds SP. Today wasn't the skate I dreamed of, but given the very difficult week I had leading up to my performances, I'm proud of my refusal to give in. This performance doesn't define me as a skater. I am still young and ambitious, and I will be a champion in the future, because I'm not giving myself any other choice.

On the flip side, I can't even begin to describe how angry I am at myself for letting such an important FS get away from me. I've trained clean longs with 5 and 6 quads and I am so capable of being among the best.

While saying all this, one wonders at the difficulty of being completely truthful, especially in a turbulent sea of opinion. That being said--I injured my back just before leaving for Milan, and I've struggled through practices this whole week. I did an incredible job of pushing through and not giving myself any excuse to back down from the challenge.

I hope everyone reading this appreciates my honesty. I've never had it easy my whole life; things were never just handed to me on a silver platter. That's what has shaped me into the fighter and truth seeker I am, and nobody can tell me otherwise.

And who can forget, a massive congrats to my teammates Nathan on his incredible achievement and Max on his wonderful skate!

By the way, I find it difficult to hold back from articulating my emotion and perception, so I hope all of you don't mind reading this. I'm just 17 and have so much ahead of me. I know I can't let one bad skate consume me, and I know that my health is my #1 priority.

And with that, I bid all of you adieu. See you soon, somewhere from the top of a podium in a place known as my dreams.
