On May 14, 2016, it was the last day of cheer tryouts at champion cheer. I was aiming for level 3 ,which meant back tucks. Back tucks have always been easy for me but, today was different. I was already having an off day or what i like to call it "a bad tumbling day", when i got up to tumble and noticed in the middle of my round-off backhand-spring that the girl next to me was tumbling crooked.

The only downside was that i still had to wait a couple more months until i was almost fully recovered to be able to tumble again. Which was fine because i was still trying to regain enough confidence to get back in the game. About 3 and a half months later, I was finally cleared to tumble, YAY!. From that point on i never cheated condition or complained about how hard it got because i realized how much cheer meant to me and how much i would miss if it if i ever had to stop
