One cold day in 2017 I watched lots of girls who had made it into the Olympic Well me as a 5 year old kid obviously wanted to try so at dinner time I told my parents and because they're amazing and supportive they told me I could practice at home and I could go to gymnastics. I was so excited so the next week it started they asked us all what we could do I showed them my best tricks which was a backbend, handstand, rollie pollie & backhand spring and when I think back I have learnt lots of new and cool things but still to this day I want to follow my dreams no matter what gets in the way and hopefully you see me on tv but don't forget to follow in your dreams and don't let anyone get in the way think positive always.
