10. She's a very sporty gal.
"I love to play golf. it's such a mental challenge with both strategy and nerves. Dance really has helped me with the sport because of the discipline of form and movement. I also love watching sports, especially baseball, basketball and volleyball. My family is active and I grew up watching high school, college, and pro sports and supporting friends and family who play.
What I love about watching sports with family and friends of course is the camaraderie and friendly rivalry. What I have learned is the game isn't over until it is over. So many times when celebrating a win starts early and in the last seconds the other team can come back and suddenly my dad is marching around the house and singing 'we are the champions' taunting my mom!"
-Tori Caro
11. Tori says that the faith that she has a purpose in life, as well as determination and resilience, make her who she is.
"There are so many talented and smart people in this world and so many paths to make dreams come true. I believe persistence is what separates the dreamers and doers. The essential partner to that is resilience. My reaction to obstacles, failures and no's is under my control. A 'no' can mean it's simply not meant for me or not at this moment. I truly believe I must do what I love and that if I endure setbacks that what I end up doing is connected to my purpose."
