“I am most passionate about gymnastics and I would say that because I spend at least five days a week at the gym if not … wait I do spend five days a week at the gym. Okay, I spend five days a week at the gym. It’s kind of like a hobby or like the sport I chose myself so it’s very like personally like me, I guess? Like, when I was younger, I used to swim but I ended up quitting cause I kind of like got burnt out. But like every time I feel like I’m starting to get burned out of gymnastics I get to try a new skill or like I get to work through something, and it makes me a better gymnast. And even through like injuries, like I broke my toe twice, um, even through injuries like it’s always kinda been like my place. Like I had this big break off of gymnastics and the whole time I was still sitting at the gym with my cast or like with my crutches just wishing that I could do something. I just feel like gymnastics really shapes me honestly. I just, like, everything that I like to think about, I kinda tie it back to gymnastics in a way. It helps with my time management because it really like takes up a lot of time, and I also have a job, and school obviously, so it’s really balancing out my time. And then honestly just like working through my like mental processes because it a very like, although it is very like physically challenging like you need to be really strong, you also really need to be mentally strong

because you have to like to do tumbling backward and like you have to like to work through like all like you have to think through each skill one by one and so just understanding myself mentally. And it really helps my time management.”
