As my family and I drive up to my first gymnastics competition of the season, I feel excited and nervous at the same time like a someone right before going on their first roller coaster. I wait in the check in line that looks as long as a train. I finally check in and find my team. Everyone fixes their close to perfect buns that are held up with a whole pack of extra strong bobby pins, layered with so much hairspray it provided more protection than a helmet. We start to warm up and stretch. All the other teams around us are so amazing. We were like a little bunnies, while they are Eagles just waiting to swoop in and catch us. Our coaches try to calm us down before our first event, but it didn't work. We watch them with our mouths wide open
