She's a very hard worker," said her sister Monica Guzman, who skated until she was 18."She sets her mind to it, and she does it because she loves the sport."

Unlike her older sister, Guzman plans to continue skating after she turns 18.She wants to go to the World Class Championships and narrow her craft to figures.She also would like to balance that goal with attending Stanford University and becoming a surgeon.
