How did you get involved in gymnastics: I went to a birthday party in kindergarten and I loved it so much. I was like a little ball of energy and my parents saw that, so they put me in classes.
Favorite thing about gymnastics: I love how there are always new goals. With gymnastics, you can always push yourself to go further. Also, I love that there is always room for improvement because there is no perfect gymnast; it gives me motivation and a reason to never stop trying.
