Miles Yates thought that when he looked back on these experiences, he'd be overwhelmed with excitement, but unexpectedly he felt a kind of calm. With a faint smile, he looked at Renee Morgan: "If she hadn't shown up, I probably would've quit the show halfway through. I don't think I could've kept going—my mental state had already started to impact my physical health, I couldn't complete the intense physical training."
"The amazing thing is, now I don't need medication to control my emotions or to sleep well. It was realizing this that made me aware of the changes in my body. Turns out I really could complete the physical training the instructor assigned."
"All of this is because of my teammate Renee Morgan. As an artist, she's full of energy, lighting me up with her passion, making me understand what it means to stand on stage. I hope I'll have the honor to shine a light for so many people like me—ordinary people with dreams."
