My definition of a best friend is someone who is always there for you. Your best friend is a person who always sticks by your side. Best friends do mostly everything together. When one of my best friends got hurt in gymnastics it was devastating for me and my whole team. Gymnastics will never be the same as long as she’s not in it with me. My gym buddies name was Gretta.
Gretta Johnson was there at every practice and every event for gymnastics. Well for as much practices and events that she could be there for.

Then her parents brought us the next day. During competitions you would always want your teammates to do great. But I feel like each secretly and silently would hope we did a little better than the other. Of course we all have our strengths and weaknesses on every
