What out of school activities do you do?

I do gymnastics.

When did you start gymnastics?

I started really young like when I was about two years old.

Why did you chose to take gymnastics?

Well my mom put me in it when I was super young because I was a crazy kid and I was super active and she wanted me to be able to tumble somewhere safer than at home.

What is your strongest point in gymnastics and what’s your weakest?

Well I believe my strongest point would have to be that I’m a perfectionist and I kind of just love to perfect every little thing, so I am always working on the littlest details and always trying to improve myself. My weakness in gymnastics is that it always takes me a long time to get over mental blocks and fears, which i am trying to work on.

What has been your favorite memory?

My favorite memory would have to be the year me and my team went to compete in California. My best friends are on the team so we had so much fun and its a time I will never forget.

Have you ever broken a bone?

Surprisingly no! After all these years I’ve never once broken anything, which I’m thankful for.

Are you going to continue gymnastics after high school?
Yes, I want to do acro and tumbling possibly in college. Or club gymnastics.

Is there anything you would like to add?

Gymnastics is a great sport and I suggest to try it if it interests you.
