“We weretaught to make decisions and to believe in ourselvesand to always have an answer,” she told PEOPLE in 2017. “It’s the attitude of, ‘The impossible is actually possible’ and, ‘Making the impossible happen is like eating breakfast.’ That’s the childhood that I had. That was something that mom and dad instilled in me, equally. Both forces pushing [me and Serena] towards that.”
