My 10 years of gymnastics:
I had no idea the impact of the sport of gymnastics had on my life and future. When I was little I started out in the sport to have a small hobby to keep me busy. My parents had the same beliefs I do and wanted to make sure I was happy in a sport that I could do for a long time. Gymnastics grew on me from the minute I step foot into the gym and I was happy there. One thing lead to another and the head coach of the competitive team at the gymnastics place I was going to saw potential in me at a very young age. She than asked if I wanted to join Pre- team as a 6 year old young lady. My parents and I were uneasy but decided to try it out. It ended up being a lot of hard work and was not just fun and games. I learned how to really work hard for something I was passionate at. 
I started to really enjoy the sport and my competitive side started to kick in. I was than moved up levels to the competitive team where I actually got to compete at competitions and meets under the USA gymnastics program. The coaches were even more strict on the team because they were so passionate about their students doing the best that they could do at all times. I learned how to respect adults and be able to listen to what I was told to do. Gymnastics gave me so many life seasons throughout my 10 years and it has shaped me to who I am today. All different sports have so many life lessons drilled into them that is so important for children to learn.
