Personal Narrative-Go LILY !

Improved Essays
One day I was at my gymnastics meet, it had lots of equipment pushed and stacked against the walls. I had my Leotard on that had ¾ inch sleeves and lots of sparkles and I love sparkles. My mom was the loudest one in the stands. “GO LILY!” The scoring system is complicated because the highest score you can get is a 10.0 and that is literally perfect if the judge can’t see anything wrong. The closest I have come to a 10.0 is a 9.5 which is amazing for only being in level 4 and of course as you get into higher levels it will get much harder in skill wise. I was on vault which is one of the easiest events and the vault runway was right next to the stands. I waited and the judge waved her green flag so I saluted and set up to go. I started running as fast and perfect as I could. I get about a third of the …show more content…
Everyone on my team finished bars then we went to beam. A four inches thick and three feet high scares a lot of people except gymnasts. Warming up people follow me because I have been there longer. We get to competing and everyone hates beam because they fall, but beam is my favorite because I don’t fall and I always get good scores. So I’m close to up so I’m on deck warming up all my main skills. I’m waiting for the judge to wave his arm so I can start. He waves and I salute back so I can start getting to my favorite skills I get through my routine without wobbling once and I got the score I was waiting for the entire meet a 9.25. That is why I love beam because I am amazing at it. Then it wa off to floor the hardest event because it puts so much pressure on your body and mental pressure. We were warming up and everyone was doing great for their tumbling passes, turns, and dancing. Everyone on my team was before me which means I was the last one on my team to go which gives me more pressure to do great since I got to watch every routine over and over. I loved floor because it is always easy for me. I wait for the judge to salute so I can start. The judge

    “Blood, sweat, and chalk; never tears.” These words have guided my gymnastics career throughout high school. Pretty much starting from the beginning, I had to re-learn many skills and tricks that I had lost after quitting gymnastics for dance lessons in fifth grade instead of joining the competitive team. I lived for gymnastics and I still do. Walking into the gym always boosts my mood and gives me a rush of determination.…

    “If I were Shannon Miller this would not happen,” I often thought as I positioned my body onto the bar. I hated heights and even being a few feet in the air on the highest uneven bar unsettled me. It seemed as if I were on the peak of a mountain top and my oxygen supply was thinning out. Each exhale made me dizzier and before you know it, I would be climbing down in a hurry, anxious to see my score even though I knew it would be low. I hated the fear I felt about practicing on the bars and how I believed that I would end up like my older teammate Chanel, who recently had surgery on both of her knees due to an awful fall in the last competition.…

    As I walk into the eating establishment there are only two employees, a girl named Lilly, and a guy named Jason, both who are very quiet because I soon as I walked in I hear dead silence is seen except for when they are talking about making order or drinks. But also, when I walked in Lilly was mopping the floor, while Jason stayed behind the counter and took care of orders. But when I walked in, she immediately stopped what part of the area she was mopping and took my order. A guy comes in named Mr.Brown, who isn’t in a uniform and automatically says to Jason, “I’ve been banging on the door dude.”…

    My First Dance Competition The first time I performed at a dance competition was a very exciting and memorable moment for me. I was six years old and insanely nervous. Typically the nerves hit me while I wait in the wing of the stage for my name to be called, but this time it began the moment I woke up in the morning. I remember having to wake up at about six in the morning in order to have time to get ready and be at the convention center in Wichita when the doors opened at 7:30 a.m.…
