I couldn’t do anything but think. Watching my best friend Payson her breathing was at a rapid pace. “How could I have done such a cruel thing?” I asked myself HOW? Payson’s high-pitched screams echoed through the gym. Almost shattering everyone’s eardrums they were screams of excruciating pain.

Payson began her routine with simple dance moves and powerful skills but I have always been the better one when it comes to floor. The judges flashed the scores for floor in my amazement Payson got a higher score again. I sneered at Payson. I closed my eyes as I did the image of Payson winner the competition popped into my head. I quickly opened them Payson was standing in front of me. The anger swirled through my body making my blood boil. My hands curling into fist just thinking of Payson winning.

However, gymnastics taught me two lessons that other athletes fail to learn thoroughly.…
