i am very humbled that you had been thinking of me!
for everyone who was wondering where oh where i disappeared too, it was college! i walked on to the gym team at my college this year. unfortunately i was not able to compete with the ncaa. the coach is such a great guy but he has a very very solid team (full of amazing wonderful girls! i just love them all) full of great AAs. i've pretty much stopped doing beam. i had a nasty fall on it at the end of my senior year at state (bonked my head on a dismount) and had another surgery for tubes in my inner ear before i left for college and have just decided that i'm done with that app! lol. so anyway right now i have been able to continue training with the team, but not being on the roster (and not starting any ncaa eligibility). only one girl graduated this year, but i am hoping to improve my event routines on fx and vt (ncaa rules are pretty much usag jo lv10 but with some modifications) to hopefully be able to compete in a meet or two next season. i have also started focusing my major down to health education or exercise science and want to work with our sports medicine department.
i have not been able to dedicate as much time to gym as i would like, college classes are much harder than high school! with the disability resource center, i have to spend a certain amount of time with a tutor and my interpreter. this summer i got a job at a camp for the Deaf in oregon and have been loving it!
i am just so glad i have been able to come back into the gymnastics world. if i can't even compete that's okay, it's been a great opportunity. i'm hoping that after college i can start a gym program for Deaf/hoh kids, but that might be a little too idealistic!
anyway i'm glad to be back on CB and hope to stick around now that i'm in the routine of things
