I have been a student athlete all my life, and I am proud to say that I have been able to accomplish as much in sports as in academics. My athletic career started in gymnastics at the age of 4 and ended last March when I decided to leave gymnastics because of a back injury. As a small kid, I always looked up to the bigger girls on my team, but later on I became a role models for my younger team mates. I have always worked hard and supported the team just as much as I have worked hard to achieve the individual goals I have set out for myself. Although I recently ended my career as a gymnast, I am happy that I have found diving as a new sport where I can carry over the skills that I have learned as a gymnast, my dedication to the team, and hard work I exhibit every day at practice, and I hope that with the right coach I can take my diving career to the next level.
