Proud Parent
Truth is, her meet was a total bomb. She cried all the way home. She learned how it felt not to medal at all, and didn't like it. She said that she will make sure that never happens again She discovered that she wants no one's pity and does not like to be consoled when she is mad. That being said, the scores did not tell the whole story. She made mistakes that are easy to fix and will dramatically change future scores. She forgot to put her jumps in her beam routine, she fell on her butt on a floor skill, she did a watered down bar routine as a matter of safety, etc. BUT, she conquered her fears and did a beautiful BHS on beam and she will have her giants on bars ready for next meet. She achieved her own goals of making it to level 7 this season and I know the scores will only improve. I was so proud that she faced her fear, the low scores just didn't seem to matter to me (until her tears came...).
