Stella, unlike most gymnasts, refused to focus only on the gym during his career. It was also a professional dancer for eight years and found the gym, which he described as "my song ... my sermon, "when one day his mother was lost to the company and asked Mississauga Gymnastics Club Stella became curious at the sight of the gym and start practicing. But, however, refused to eat, sleep and breathe only for exercise as the others, wanted to be a normal child and have a life outside of sport. This, she says, gave her a certain kind of reputation for being "too black" and "having opinions." Stella said that the judges that the coaches considered difficult because "I was not sitting there licking € @ # $ all day. I was there to compete. " Stella has also declined tranquil and monastic life of the young gymnast agonist: "During the races in my room there were always parties ... But I usually was there not, in my room."

Funny, it seems that competitive gymnastics is one of the few areas, except maybe the prison, where you think that an individual with many interests can non avere successo, ma eccome se Stella ne ha avuto! Non solo si divertiva quando si allenava, ma si รจ costruito una carriera nel circo e nella televisione.
