“Gymnastics taught me everything - life lessons‚ responsibility and discipline and respect.” Shawn Johnson was my idol while I was doing gymnastics. She motivated me to work harder on every event and one day be able to compete. I first started off by doing basic tumbling on the floor. My coaches would teach me new skills and spot me on them.

In my life failure was always there‚ yet I always grew from it. At the age of 4‚ I started the sport of gymnastics and failure is exactly how you learned to do the movements. From every slip and fall‚ off the beams‚ every rip on bars‚ to every terribly executed jump on vault.
