I ate clean, I trained hard, and I followed every order, suggestion, and demand given to me by my coaches and trainers. It wasn’t an easy lifestyle to uphold, but it was the one I had chosen for myself. I trusted my gut and pursued my dreams with relentless drive, taking comfort in the fact that I was almost there. Until I made it—and I would make it—I would continue to make the sacrifices and remain focused, dedicated, and undistracted from bullshit teenage drama.
