One of my former teammates is currently a junior at San Jose State and competes on beam. The past weekend, the level eight team supported her at the Haas Pavilion on the UC Berkeley campus. Other teams competing included Arizona State, Denver, and Cal(who... spoiler alert: won the meet). Unfortunately, Gab was not on the competing squad for beam that Sunday and didn't have the opportunity to perform in front of the judges, crowd, and team. Nonetheless, we had a great time and witnessed many incredible achievements demonstrated through crazy insane skills and perfected routines. The expansive abilities of these college gymnasts inspired me to work even harder at practice and push myself in order to accomplish my goals of obtaining new skills. I may not be a competitive college gymnast, but I still hope that I can continue my intense hobby throughout high school and possibly do club gymnastics.

I would like to clarify that these are not New Year's resolutions; the following notes are ongoing goals I have had for myself. I believe it would greatly benefit me to not only write down my ambitions for my future, but also post them for others to view. Sharing my aspirations would force me to follow through with each step towards my destination and I hope this would inspire people to reach forwards to their own personal goals. 1. Compete giants on bars this gymnastics season.
2. Get a part-time job or an internship or go to science camp over the summer. 3. Get my drivers licence before summer ends. 4. Make at least two beams routines throughout this season. 5. Finish extra science pages before school ends. 6. Get straight A's. 7. Exercise at least once a week, outside of gymnastics practice. |
