Meet...... My Teammates

My teammates. My obnoxiously weird friends. My competition. My family. No matter what, they're still my best friends. In fact they're pretty much my only friends apart from about seven, give or take a few, who I go to school with. In this post, I'm going to try to introduce each one so that if I ever name them in stories or future posts, you know exactly who I'm talking about. And I just think this is going to be a fun post.


1) Jamie. In the 10th grade, Jamie is a level 9 like me. She is pretty much good at everything she does which includes gymnastics, school, violin, piano, and homework. Fun fact: I was recently told that she is going to be taking all AP classes next year. Oh, wait, except one because she wants to break up the heavy schedule. Hmmm, and what is that easy A-class? Anatomy & Physiology.

I do not see your logic here, James. Photo courtesy of: Teen Talk

2) Taelor. Taelor is a special child. I didn't know that someone could be so funny, sing so well, be so good at the skills she throws, and... well... see... let's just say we call her Fluff sometimes. She is a freaking amazing Level 8, and could probably go 9 in the blink of an eye. Fun fact: Tae (her more common nickname) is small, quick, and pretty much only eats grass. This makes her part deer.

3) Morgan. Monkey. Moe. These are the three names that we call the person on our team most like a regular teenager. The things she says are pretty funny. A few of my favorites? "It FEELS like I'm smiling!" "It FEELS like I'm straightening my legs!" "Wait...... Whaaaaaat?" Fun fact: I'm the one who came up with Moe. :) Booh yah!!!!

4) Elise. Elise likes to dance in a half egyptian, half in a "I don't even know" way. Her special move involves putting her hands over her head with both palms pressed together and moving her hips in a circular motion with a weird duck face on. Good job, Elise. Fun fact: Elise drinks up to two Capri suns each day.

5) Patrisha. Patrisha is the cutest child I've ever met. She is a Level 7 and I'm pretty sure she is about 11. She works hard, has a really good attitude, and has the best expressions in the world. Fun fact: Trish once made about $80 by giving rides on her donkey. Oh yeah, and she has her own donkey.

6) Cassie. Cassie is in Level 7. Cassie has a contusion right now. :( Fun fact: She is part Russian, and has a twin sister.

7) Gen. Gen is a Level 7 who is saucy and is part Colombian. She likes her opinions and definitely her circus peanuts. (ewww!)  She is very consistent in everything she does. Fun fact: Gen's Shakira singing voice is the bomb.com. Yes, I said bomb.com.

8) Kendall. Kendall is new. She moved here from the East about a month ago. We're all still excited to get to know her. Fun fact: Kendall just recovered from a concussion from skiing. Yay!

9) Emma. Emma is new to the optional team this year. She is ball of energy and happiness and is always there to cheer us up. Fun fact: Emma is the only level 6 on our team. We have a ton of Level 5s and a few 7s but she is the only Level 6.

Taelor, Alicia (Quit last year), Jamie, Moe, Coach Charity, Sam Bush, Sam Regan, Amanda, Elise.
