Gymnastics


When I was younger, I grew up in club gymnastics for Aloha Gymnastics World (commonly known as Aloha/AGW). Around sixth grade, I stopped gym and I declared that I wasn't going to do anymore gymnastics. Well, I proved myself wrong around eighth grade. I was at a new school and wasn't very outgoing. My mom suggested for me to do ILH gymnastics for the school. At first, I didn't want to. But I remembered that a lot of my friends from Aloha did it. So if I did it, I would be able to keep in touch with them better. So I went and 'represented' my school and did ILH.

Since then, I've been in ILH gymnastics, not quite willing to renounce all of my gymnastics abilities. Now, I'm a varsity member, although it's not a very big deal. A lot of my friends are in this group, so it almost feels like old times. I think that a person can never truly leave their roots. I've experienced it through gymnastics. Many of my favorite skills are still with me and help me along in my primary sport, diving.
