In a recent interview, Jade Carey shared that she is looking to enjoy her remaining days, celebrate her last final year of college and not put pressure on herself. Additonally, she also mentioned that she is looking to take things as they come and just enjoy the process. She said (via KVAL.com):

"I just want to be able to celebrate everything that I have done and everything that I'm continuing to do and not being too hard on myself. I'm definitely a perfectionist and wanting to have everything perfect. And so not trying too hard to make those things happen but just to be myself and let them happen. It just makes me feel like all the hard work that I've put in over the years pays off and now I kind of just get to step back and enjoy it."

During her conversation, Jade Carey also stated that she wants to be remembered as an individual and a helpful teammate within the program and not just as a formidable gymnast.
