How I Got Started in Gymnastics

I never really asked my parents how I got involved... Well, yes I have but I still don't really understand it. When I was about three my preschool started having gymnastics classes after school. My mom put me in because I had a lot of energy and thought it would be good exercise. I was also doing dance at the time which I absolutely despised, but I had to finish the season of dancing. I did gymnastics in preschool all the way through, then started at an after school gymnastics program kindergarten through first grade. I don't remember much about my start at gymnastics, except that I thought that a back hip circle would be impossible even though I was always asking to do cast to handstands... I've always been a crazy kid I guess. I also remember having a hernia surgery in preschool and then wanting to go back to gymnastics the next day. My parents wouldn't let me and I had to go back a week later! I'm so happy my parents put me in gymnastics, I will love it forever and it will always be a part of me.
