Gymnastics is the biggest part of my life, and it always will be. I am a third generation gymnast and also third year level 9 gymnast at New Hope Academy of Gymnastics in Fountain Valley, CA. I have been to the Olympic Training Center twice, and it's an amazing feeling to train where the Olympians have trained. I have been doing gymnastics ever since I was 5 years old. Even before that, I went on the Tumble Bus in pre-school. It has changed my life so much.

When I first got on to a gymnastics team I was about 6 years old and I trained at USGTC in Aliso Viejo. After four years I switched gyms and trained at South Coast Gymnastics in Irvine. Four years later I switched to New Hope kcademy in Fountain Valley. Switching to this gym was one of the very best decisions I have ever made. My coach, Guonian Wu, can always keep me going and will only make me a better gymnast. He is an amazing coach and an amazing person.

My main goal in gymnastics is to someday compete in an international competition. I know the only way I can do this is to train hard and to never give up. One of the main reasons I can keep pushing forward is because of my teammates. They are always there for me. One of them, Yoshi Mori, is a level 10 gymnast and will be attending University of Illinois next semester. He is also a junior national team member, and one of my best friends. Y oshi and a couple other of my teammates are supportive and exciting people. They are all extremely talented gymnasts. And they all have the same dream as I do.
