Girls Only!
“AAG, for short. Padded safety mats were out everywhere when she arrived. Gymnasts in various levels practiced on the uneven parallel bars, balance beam, and the vault. Others worked individual floor routines. Graceful, fit bodies were flying, swinging, or tumbling all over.
Cool stuff, she thought. The gym was pure heaven on earth.
For as long as Jenna could remember, she had been testing her balancing ability on the narrow curbs in her neighborhood. Or on the lines of a checkered kitchen floor.... As a preschooler, she’d posed on a step stool in front of the TV, pretending to be an Olympic medalist. And in her imagination, the crowd was always cheering. For her!
When she was three, her mother had enrolled her in a preschool gymnastics group called Tumble Tots. Jenna caught on quickly, and by the time she was in kindergarten, she was showing other tiny gymnasts how to tuck their knees for a forward or backward somersault. “Teacher’s little helper,” her coaches used to say.
She was still the shortest girl on her team.MoreLess
