I also started participating in gymnastics and competitive swimming at a very young age. Eventually, swimming and long distance running became my favorites. As a result, I quit other sports and focused on these two grueling activities. I've spent hours in the pool and on the track, pushing my body to its limits. While I…
only Thursday morning. He turned his old pickup off Paseo and down Cervantes street towards the high school and slowly made his way towards the security gate. What a useless gate, he thought.
