In third grade, I was taking tap-dance lessons, and about six weeks before the recital I wanted to quit. My mom said, No, youre going to stay with it. Well, I did it, and I was bad, too! But my parents never let their kids walk away from something because it was too hard. – Rebecca Lobo

Two weeks ago at the U.S. Amateur, my mom caddied, and that is kind of a different feeling, because shes your mom and you have to listen to her.
