tight in the next few months

until her disability kicks in.

Okay?

John?

Brie, what are you doing here?

Don't you have

a practice to go to?

It's too expensive, Mama.

And we're poor.

Do you know what poor is?

Poor is when you

run out of hope.

And that's not us,

not by a long shot.

You want to make me feel better?

Then go to practice.

You got a competition coming up,

and you need to be ready for it.

'Cause I'm gonna be at that competition.

I don't know about you.

You plan on being

at that competition?

Yeah?

Well, go get ready.

You're on your own

In a world you've grown

Few more years to go

Don't let the hurdle fall

So be the girl you loved

Be the girl you loved

I'll wait

So show me why you're strong

Ignore everybody else

We're alone now

I'll wait

So show me why you're strong

Ignore everybody else

We're alone now

Suddenly, I'm hit

Is this darkness of the dawn?

And your friends are gone

And your friends won't come

So show me where you fit

So show me where you fit

I'll wait

So show me why you're strong

Ignore everybody else

We're alone now

We're alone now

I'll wait

We're alone now

We're alone now

I'll wait

We're alone now

We're alone now

Suddenly, I'm hit

Is this darkness of the dawn?

And your friends are gone

And your friends won't come

So show me where you fit

So show me where you fit

Mom, what is it?

They used to call

them food stamps.

It looks like a debit card.

Well, it's not.

When you guys were younger,

I vowed I would never,

ever rely on another handout.

Nice!

Come on, Kelly!

Keep your legs

straight this time.

Please, Mom!

What are the chances?

I mean, it's a sign or something!

Coach Chow right here.

It's fate or something,

or something meant to be, or...

Are you gonna peel that, or are you

just gonna keep waving it around?

Please, Mama.

I mean, I know it's more money,

but what if it is fate?

Mmm.

What are you gonna say

when you first meet him?

You mean I get to go?

Oh, my God!

I'm gonna tell him he's my hero,

and I've waited my whole

entire life just to meet him,

and I'm gonna show him

everything that I can do.

You're gonna breathe.

You're gonna breathe when you talk to him.

All right, now,

peel these carrots, girl.

And I'm gonna tell him I've

waited two whole years to meet him.

I'm gonna tell him there isn't

anything I don't want to learn

as long as he'll teach me.

Hello.

I am Liang Chow.

Hi. I'm...

I'm Gabrielle Douglas.

Hello, Gabrielle Douglas.

What do you hope to learn today?

Everything.

I don't know about everything,

but I'll try not

to disappoint you.

Hi. I'm Liang Chow.

I'm Ashley.

Hi, Ashley.

Let's talk about music, okay?
