One moment that makes us the proudest in her athletic journey was the first time she nailed her back handspring during a performance. She had practiced tirelessly, facing fear and frustration along the way, but never gave up. When she landed it perfectly in front of the crowd, the cheers were loud, but the smile on her mom’s face meant the most. It was a moment that showed her how far hard work and belief in herself could take her.
