Blast to the Past

I never really know how to answer questions regarding when I started gymnastics and why. Because, truthfully,  I don't remember how I started, and now that I think about it, there was never life before gymnastics for me, or life without gymnastics. Well, except for last year, but that is a completely different story. Me starting gymnastics wasn't my decision, it was my parent's. They apparently couldn't control me. I "moved too much." So they stuck me in dance, skiing, gymnastics, and soccer, but gymnastics just stuck. So anyway, here's my gymnastics story.

The Pros to Having an Injury

No, this post does not mean that having an injury is all fun and games, and it is definitely not trying to convince you to go and hurt yourself. Please. Just don't. It is simply a post explaining the upside to an injury, so that I can stay positive, and it will be a nice break for my friends because I'm sure they are completely sick and tired of me complaining all the time. :)

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.
