She loves that she can be strong and fast in her own way. Track helps her feel free, and gymnastics makes her feel like she can fly. She gets to keep improving, meet new friends, and show people what she’s capable of.
My mom inspires me the most. She works hard, believes in me when I doubt myself, and reminds me to be kind and confident. When I feel unsure, she asks, “Who’s the best?” I say, “Me.” “Who’s going to show them?” — “Me.” Then she says, “What are we made of?” I say, “Heart.” That’s when I walk with my chin up and chest out.
One of my proudest moments was winning medals in my first track season and at the gymnastics state championship. I was nervous because track was brand new, and I stumbled on the beam during my routine. But I bounced back by encouraging myself. I reminded myself that even when my mom isn’t around, I have to believe in me. I stayed focused, pushed through, and proved to myself that I can do hard things.
