- There's not a single person in the world
that's exactly the same.
In fact, being different
is one of the only things
that makes us the same.
(hip hop music)
Everywhere I go, I'm different.
So having grown up in Los Angeles
where it's so diverse
to see so many people
of different backgrounds
and even different body
types, disabilities,
I'm not always an outsider.
I'm envisioning in LA 2028
being able to compete in
front of my friends and family
in the place where I grew up.
All these other competitions
that I'm going to,
all the training, is all experience
that when I get to LA in 2028, I'm ready.
I'm ready to win gold for U.S.
and break world records in
front of my family and friends.
I mean, there's literally nothing
that's going to mean more to me than that.
I want my 'A' to represent
the adaptive community.
I want people when they
look up and they see an 'A',
that has a prosthetic leg, a blade,
to feel like it's representing them.
To create an inclusive society
where people with disabilities
feel like they do belong.
Having the Paralympic Games in LA
is going to do exactly that.
