I decided to run for this position because as I have volunteered for Adaptive Gymnastics over the past few months, the program has become a part of who I am. I would love to become more involved with the program in any way possible, and I confident in performing the duties of Vice President such as running class and coordinating volunteers and new members.

I just remember I was looking around at all the kids to see how each one was doing, and all of a sudden I felt someone hugging me. I looked down to see that it was Emma.
