Gymnastics has taught me countless life lessons. I've learned characteristics like respect, hard work, determination, humility, perseverance, and patients. Gymnastics challenges me and keeps me motivated. Not only has gymnastics taught me vital skills, but my gym has too. Gymnastics and my team bring out the best in me. I am extremely blessed to be part of this sport.

Moreover, I have been lucky to be successful in my gymnastics career. In level 4, I won state. Level 5, I won beam at state in 2013. Then continued through level 7-9. As for level 9, I came in first on beam and all-around at state and regionals. I am now working to be a level 10.

I am so incredibly thankful for gymnastics.
