The Fall In 2010, I was eight years old. I was a dedicated student, and gymnastics was my passion outside of school. I was a good gymnast but my height crippled me more times than one. I was a gymnast that was five feet two inches at eight years old. My practices were long and usually quite rigorous. It was Tuesday evening when I went to my gymnastics studio.

They were probably bright white at one time, but now they are more of a pale grayish color. I turned to my left and saw the rarest of occurrences, especially at a dance. There were no other girls in the bathroom. It’s a miracle, I thought. I headed straight for the second mirror to the left, the only one without any water around the sink below it.

Throughout high school, I always wanted to take up a dance class, preferably a Hip Hop class but I never had…
