I don't think I would have been able to stick with it and been proud of who I am and be feminine out on the court. I think I would have folded to the peer pressure if I didn't have my mom to encourage me to be me and be proud of how tall I am.
I have a life that I enjoy I try and value the things that I think are worth valuing and everything else is icing. You know it is a kick to go down the red carpet in that dress and then you go back home.
