What tasks have you completed recently ?

• Some tasks that I completed recently are getting some of my tumbling and taking a test. Both taking this test and throwing my tumbling were pretty important to me, since they had deadlines on when I had to do them it was starting to stress me out. No matter how much I would study or how hard I would work it was still taking a toll on me. Everyday I came home to study for my test whether it was 15 minutes or an hour I was determined to be that much more prepared. Same with my tumbling, after practice I would head straight to the gym and starting working on my tumbling. There were countless times were I would mess up and occasionally fall pretty hard, but I got up and tried again. Like they say, " practice makes perfect". 

What have you learned recently ?

• Throughout the tasks that I completed I learned a lot. First I learned that hard work does pay off. It feels good to know that you put in so much time and effort and was determined to get it done. There's times were I feel that no one sees how hard I'm working and it upsets me. But what I truly learned was that no one has to be a witness to your hard work or your dedication. The thing that matters the most is that you know what you did, you know how hard you worked, and you know you put in 110 percent towards it. Also I took the quote, " practice makes perfect " into thought. And I came to realize that practice can mean perfecting something in your opinion or practice can be permanent. In your mind you might think something is perfect because that's the way you feel about it, but in reality nothing is perfect. So practice can also mean permanent, because what you practice and get done at school, at practice, or anywhere else is exactly what you're going to get somewhere else when you do it. 

What are you planning on doing next ?

• What I'm planning on doing next is passing my test and achieving my goal in tumbling. Yes it is going to take time and hard work and dedication but I'm up for the challenge. With any obstacle that comes my way I will try my best. Maybe along the way I learn new things.
