I started very simple tumbling classes at a cheer gym when I was ten (maybe eleven.. I'm now fifteen). I was not committed to tumbling whatsoever, it was only once a week and I would sometimes skip practices or would just stop going for a whole month. Also, my teacher was very lazy, he almost never pushed us and would run each class very slowly. At that age, I really needed the 'push' too I liked tumbling more than any other sport I had tried (I've tried so many sports it's ridiculous), but I was just very lazy and silly and young. I even stopped for an entire year because my dad bugged me into starting karate. I stopped karate after the year was over, and went back to tumbling. After being in tumbling for about three years, I had stayed in the same level the whole time. When I came back, I was really motivated to get the rest of my skills and move up to the next level. Eventually I started learning more and more about gymnastics, and had wanted to do it SO badly.. So I moved to another gym, where I did all four events gymnastics in an adult class. I didn't like it all that much and neither did my mom, so now I've moved to a much better gym and am going to be on the competitive team in a few months I'm SO unbelievably excited!
