Author Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, "Unless you try to do something beyond what you already mastered, you will never grow." In Virginia, a sixteen year old named Stacy has found that they agree with this quote to a great extent. Recently, Stacy picked up the hobby of hula hooping. After reading this quote, it did not take long for her to make the connection that if she learned one trick and never attempted another one, she would get nowhere. Many others can agree with this fact. In order to grow, a person must always challenge their ever-growing potential. A person must stride past their previous accomplishments so that they’re able to learn from their mistakes, venture out of their comfort zone, and reach their potential.

Breaking is a trick where the hooper changes the direction that the hoop flows in while hooping. Stacy caught onto this fast, and began to do it often. After some time, it became second nature to her. Stacy knew she could continue doing this trick, but she was also aware she would never get better if she stayed in that safety net.

There are plenty of groups that agree that people should be happy with what they have, as well as what they’ll be able to do! When Stacy started, she had excited mentors watching her progress. She had limits, of course - we all do. But despite these limits, Stacy also tried to do the best of her ability within her boundaries.
Each and every day, people accomplish new things. Success is a positive thing, but progression is just as important.

Stacy chest-rolled her way from failure to improvement, ‘broke’ into zones outside of her comfort, and explained that just because
