I Was So Happy To Go To

My School Friends Are Really Understanding And Still Want To Hang Out With Me. Ever Since I Was In Sixth Grade, I Was At The Gym Every Day To Work Out While My Friends Were Getting Their Nails Done Or Going To The Mall. I Used To Feel Left Out, But I Don't Anymore.

I Was Always Really Inspired By Watching The Older Girls Competing, Just Seeing Other Olympians Do Great Things, And I Just Really Wanted To Be A Part Of That Whole Experience. And To Be Able To Represent Usa Was Always A Goal Of Mine.

I Think Imperfection Is Beauty. Instead Of Being Insecure About My Muscles, I've Learned To Love Them. I Don't Even Think Of It As A Flaw Anymore Because It's Made Me Into The Athlete That I Am.

I Was So Happy To Go To Prom So I Could Have A Mental Break Because I've Been Working So Hard. It Felt So Good To Feel Normal For Once, And Then The Next Day, I Was In The Gym Again.

Gymnastics Is My Whole Life, And I Dream Of Going To The Olympics And Being A World Champ.
