Personal Narrative Level 8 Gymnast

When I was seven years old, my mother took me to a gymnastics center to see how I would like it. As a little girl, I loved to climb trees and jump on our trampoline so it only seemed natural that I would fall in love with gymnastics. I began at the beginner level and over the next eight years, I would become a competitive Level 8 gymnast. My mother knew from the beginning how much I would love it. Over those eight years my family moved four times and we eventually ended up here in Tennessee. The hardest decision I had to determine on was giving up gymnastics due to the hour drive one way to the closest gym and me starting high school.

Desired to continue tumbling as the floor routines were always my favorite event at gymnastics
