December 7 & 14

GYMNASTICS
Miss Amber loves gymnastics. She thrives on the hard work and discipline it takes to perform the various events. This season has not only been a physical battle, but a mental battle as Amber worked to maintain her mental strength even when events did not go as she would have liked. There were many times when Amber had to shake off an event in order to be prepared to compete in the next event. At times she was able to do just that, but there were also times when she couldn't let go of a mishap. We've talked about how this correlates with our own lives'--how we must learn from our mistakes, but to dwell on our mistakes will only pull us down--how we must be willing to pick ourselves up, seek the Lord's help, and persevere.

These events were in December. Amber had several meets in which she competed in Bars, Vault, Floor, and Beam. Her least favorite event was the Beam; however, she consistently performed the best in this event (even though she didn't love it). Her favorite event was Vault. Amber placed 2nd in State for her Vault. (Those pictures will be posted in March.)
