Eight Things a Regular Person Wouldn't Know About Gymnastics/Gymnasts

Yes, I know this is the last blog assignment, but I have convinced myself that I will continue posting at least throughout the summer. I know, so dedicated, right? But anyway, I'm treating this like a regular post. It's pretty funny when somebody who is evidently not a gymnast trys to talk gymnastics. So here are a few things you may want to consider when I go off on a rant at school or something. And they're just weird and funny.

A Random Collection of Recent Experiences

Not many of my recent posts have been about me personally, and I don't mean to sound narcissistic or anything, but a lot has happened in the past few weeks.

Random Pictures of Awesomeness

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.
