Personal life
[edit]Aguilar is a Christian. She has said “I used to eat, breathe and sleep softball. But when God was introduced to my life and became my life, softball no longer defined me. God’s plans and the ability He's given me in softball are why I play. I see His hand in every part of my journey. Embodying the character of Christ is my end goal; it's not just about winning a gold medal. I want to let the light of Christ shine through me.”[13]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
