"Be yourself- not your idea of what you think somebody else's idea of yourself should be." ― Henry David Thoreau

"So, after you made friends, what happened?"

"Well," Andy says, stretching a bit, "They had a club, and I joined, so most days after school hours, I'd be there, helping with whatever they needed. Cleaning, making tea and stuff of that sort. It was fun, really. For the first time, I felt like I belong some where that wasn't a soccer pitch."

"So for your entire life, other then when you're playing, you felt... alone?"

"After my father passed, yes," Andy says, nodding.

"How have you been able to just keep going," she asks, "It just seems like, for over half your life, you were very unhappy."

Andy nods, "I was. I was depressed and alone and scared with no one to turn to... but I had a dream... one to make my Dad proud, where ever he may be. A dream to make myself proud... for the first time in my life to feel some sort of accomplishment. I've learned a lesson a long time ago that really, all that matters is that I could live with myself and my decisions... but I never truly lived it until after I had a group to support me. It was because I was determined and because of friends and teammates that I'm still standing today."

Oprah just grins, "You... you really just impress me so much. You're so humble and real."

"Thank you," Andy says with a smile.

"So you met your friends, and spent time with them. Then something you never thought would happen happened to you."

Andy nods, "I fell in love."

"What was that like?"

"It was scary," Andy says, "I've never known what it was like to even have a crush on someone, and then, suddenly, I realize 'Woah, Andy, you like him as more than a friend'... I was scared."

"Why were you scared of these feelings?"

"Because I've never had to open myself up like that for anyone before," Andy explains, "I always relied on me, myself and I. I knew what I felt, and for a long time, no one else needed to know. Until all this. Then I just noticed myself becoming more and more open to him... I would pace back and forth in my room telling myself 'Andy, what are you doing? What is this? Are you sick?'"

"I understand that his family were not all into you being around him for a while." she says, care to talk about that?"

"Well... I'm not going to lie, his family are completely stinkin' rich. They probably wanted him to be with a girl from another family that was filthy rich. I'm not rich. I've got barely enough to live off of, because I'm still paying off debts from my mother's funeral... but he wanted me anyways. His step mother hated me, still hates me."

"Do you know why?"

"I have no idea," Andy states, shrugging her shoulders, "But I feel sorry for her. She hates me for no reason. Hate is something people shouldn't feel all the time, and she does, and I feel bad for her, but only she can help herself."

"I heard she poured wine all over you...?"

"Oh yeah, she did."

"What did you do?"

"Gave her the middle finer and told her 'fuck you'." She looks up, "Can I say that?"

"We can bleep it out," she says. "So... 2011, World Cup final. How did you feel leading up to the game?"

"I was really nervous. I was worried that now I have all of these friends, and I didn't want to disappoint them. I especially didn't want to disappoint my team mates. But, most of all, my mom was there... and I felt as if I had to prove to her that I am worth her attention."

"And after?"

"I was so happy. There was a sense of pride and it wasn't for me. It was for what we, as a team, had collectively done together."

"Was it weird, being the best in the world? Did that ever hit you, that fact?"

"It did, after we went to New York... and all those people... I felt like 'For now... I'm the best. But soon, It'll be up to grabs again'."

"It's always the next thing, with this team, isn't it?"

"We start preparing for the next tournament one or so days after a win... we're overachievers that way, I suppose."

She looks into Andy's eyes, "Is winning everything?"

Taking a deep breath, Andy thinks of how to answer. "For us, yes. We expect the best of ourselves. We don't win because we individually want it. We do, but we know that... the looks on everyone face after a loss is something we don't want to see. Because all of us are thinking 'I could have done something better', 'If I didn't mess up that one time'... and we just take that as it comes and move on. But when you're paid to win, and to succeed yes, it is important, but it's not everything."

"Olympics. The final, the team won gold, and it's your first one. I can't imagine how happy you felt. When you heard the news about your mother... how did it feel?"

"Oh man," Andy says, "I... I haven't felt that n so long. That feeling of complete numbness... the feeling of not feeling anything. She talked with me, telling me why it was she was dying. I told her that I loved her and that it wasn't goodbye. Then... she was gone. I was just so sad. Then, like a flip of a switch, I got angry."

"Why?"

"My mother told the person I'm dating what was going on, and I didn't know how serious anything was until she told me as she died... I was so angry at her for not telling me."

She nods, asking why once more.

"I... I just wanted to help her," Andy says, as tears fill her eyes. It was still too soon, but she knew she had to let this sadness out somehow. "She didn't tell me, and she told someone else. She did it because she knew I'd drop everything to take care of her."

"Would you?"

"There are more Olympics," Andy says, "But I only have one mother. She would have felt so guilty for it, because I would have even dropped soccer for her. She wouldn't want me to give that up, but she's worth it. I can't even look at the gold medal right now."

"How did you react towards your significant other, after finding out he hid that from you?"

"I reacted the same way I did when Dad died... I completely blew up, this time it was at him, because he held that from me. I don't blame him, now, for ding it, but then... anger clouded my rational thinking. We both have tempers that are just horrific. So when he finally snapped, we just clashed it was like a bomb went off, and all that was left was just hurt and pain. It took a while until I could face him again."

"Why couldn't you face him?"

"I felt guilty for what I said. I didn't mean any of it... I just get vicious... and I aim for whatever will hurt the most."

"Are you afraid of what people will think of you, after this comes out?"

"No," Andy says, "No one is perfect, and they shouldn't expect me to be. I'm in the public eye, yes, but I will stay true to myself above anything. I'm Adeline Val, and to try to be anyone else would be an insult to my parents, and an insult to the people who just like me for who I am."

"I admire that about you," She says. "No matter what you're faced with, you're always you."

"It's the only me I can be," And says, smiling.

"Well, our time is sadly, almost up," She says, "But just a few more questions."

"Speed round?"

"Exactly," She says with a laugh, "What do you do with your spare time?"

"Read, play video games, but mostly work out, honestly."

"With this new league coming up, have you decided to stick with collegiate soccer?"

"Yes," Andy says, "For the two years I'm here, I'll stick with it. I've already signed a deal with a team after that for three seasons, however."

"If you had just one more day to live, how would you spend it?"

"I'd play one last game, and spent the time after with my friends and teammates, who are my family now."

"If you could thank anyone for what's happened to you in the past two years, who would t be?"

"For my career? Pia. She believe in me first. After her, Abby. Abby has helped me grow as a play so much, every goal I make is really just a testament to what she's been able to teach me. In my personal life? My friends. They gave me a place to belong when I had none."

"And, lastly, what do you want people to take from this. From you sharing your story?"

"I... I just want everyone to understand that, while I may not be perfect, and I wasn't always the perfect role model, even a person who nearly screwed up their life can accomplish their dreams. Dream big, because they do happen, but you have to work hard towards those dreams. But it's worth it."

Andy smiles one last time as the camera goes off and she takes a breif moment to wonder if she should have done that at all.
