Obviously, having known nothing, I made a level one team. I enrolled in many extra classes such as tumbling, jumps, and stunts. I learned to become a flyer with one man stunts, and learned my front and back walkover within a year. Then, when I was 11 and still doing cheer, I broke my back. I had to do physical therapy 3 days a week at 7:00 am for a year. I eventually recovered and came back to cheer a much stronger athlete.

This shows the theme because I was very determined to get back to cheer after my injury. If I wasn't determined, I would have not gone to PT, not have done the stretches and exercises, and would not go back to cheer. I never gave up so I could go back to the sport that I loved.]]> 2020-09-15 20:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_goushey_610/oa6eeyxt3jqvrxh3/wish/749661597 isabella_goushey_610 https://padlet.com/isabella_goushey_610/oa6eeyxt3jqvrxh3/wish/749687300 At the beginning of 8th grade I decided that I wanted to tryout for colorguard my freshman year. I thought that dance would help me a lot with that, so I enrolled in a dance class. I practiced a lot to get my technique really good and to get my flexibility to the max. Towards the end of the school year, Lonestar was having a clinic to help you with tryouts. When I got to the class and started spinning the flag, I realized that it would be a much harder journey than I had imagined. I was born with amniotic band syndrome which caused me losing a lot of parts of my fingers when I was a baby. When I was at colorguard it was hard for me to grip the flag with my hand. I would drop almost every single time. I thought it would help me a lot if I had a prosthetic to help me. I got it about two weeks after the appointment. The prosthetic helped tremendously. I worked on my skills all the time so I could make the team. When coronavirus hit, I was very nervous how well virtual tryouts would go, but I did very well and made the team.

This shows the theme because I worked so hard to make the team. I practiced all the time and got my grips a lot stronger. I showed determination by trying my very best to do the sport that sounded like a lot of fun, and so far has been an amazing experience even though we are in the middle of a pandemic.]]> 2020-09-15 21:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/isabella_goushey_610/oa6eeyxt3jqvrxh3/wish/749687300
