“ If it doesn’t challenge you, it won’t change you.” Last year, over Christmas Break, my family and I traveled down to Castle Rock, Colorado for a gymnastics meet. Last night, we had all packed and put the luggage in the car. As soon as it was, 4:30 am we had to wake up to get ready to go down to the airport. My mom’s old college friend had driven us to United Airlines. We has checked in and dropped of our bags. Afterward, we had arrived at 11:00am. We checked into the hotel. Which was really pretty. After, we all got situated. The rooms were small so we had gotten two. My mom and I had went into one room while, my dad and my brother went in the room nextdoor. After, we had gone out for diner and when…show more content… Soon, it was 10:00 and we had gotten to the competition and I met up with my team and we went to the practice room.

I went for the round off back handspring layout and I knew I wasn’t high enough to go and twist two times in one skill but, I had to. Until, I went for it and fell. I saw my mom and dad’s face as I fell to the ground. I could hear 2 snaps in one place. I saw for a quick second my mom sit there seeing if I got up but, I didn’t I just couldn’t.
