I don't know, being a two-sport athlete, there really isn't a world outside of sports.
Q: What's your favorite thing about Champaign?
A: I love how it's so incredibly flat. In the evenings I can actually look out on the sunset and pretend everything below me is water and I'm watching the sun set on the ocean. For that fifteen minutes a day, it's beautiful.
Q: You weren't on campus in the fall, What did you do for the semester?
A: (After competing in Greece) I had an internship in (Washington, D.C.) working at ESPN's satellite studio there. I was an intern for Around the Horn. I'm from the (Washington, D.C.) area, so it gave me an excuse to stay around home.
Q: What's your favorite class you've taken at the U of I?
A: Asian Mythology. I took this Asian Mythology class a year and a half ago, and it was just amazing. I loved it because we studied religion through the stories associated with it.
Q: What's your dream job?
A: My dream job would be travel writer whose job is to write reviews of amazing resorts. To travel around the world to amazing resorts and write about it.
Q: What's something interesting people don't know about you?
A: I'm a contributing author on a book that's ranked 144th on Amazon.com right now. It's called Don't Miss Your Boat - I'll make my plug - it's selling for $12 on Amazon.com.
Q: Do you have any athletic goals you still haven't achieved?
A: Oh yeah. To win a gold medal. I've got to go back (to the Paralympics) and win a gold medal. My two best races were my last two, and I crashed. I've got my wheel hanging in my room like a mobile; it broke into six pieces.
I'd like to set a world record that lasts more than two days. And basketball - it'd be nice to win a world championship.
