The Fight "Faith over Fear"

It was my first time at Easterns and boy was it exciting. I started on my favorite event, bars. As I swung from one bar to the other, all I could think was, this is it, I really made it to Nationals! I landed and exhaled as took a tiny hop.. The score 9.35... Not my best, but this is Nationals, the judges expect the best from me.
Next it was the beam.... Yikes! I was in the zone, or so I thought....Ummmm no idea what happened. I went for my series and out of nowhere, I couldn't hold my balance so I had to jump off and reset. Of course I was disappointed, but I had to leave that behind and head to the floor.
Floor was great!.... Music came on, I got in the zone again.....dance, dance, tumble, tumble. I missed my teammates dearly.... I really wished they were there for our "dance-along" portion. So I had to pretend that the judges were my teammates and in my head I had to imagine they were moving their arms with me. Music ended, I salute and head for the arms of my coaches who seemed happy with that performance. Next up! The VAULT...
Warm-ups for vault were a bit rough... I say a quick prayer before competition begins. I run as fast as I could hit the board, do a layout off the table and and land right on my tush.... Oh oh! It's Nationals! I can't let my coaches down. I get a little pep talk from coach Jason and pull myself together. Again, I run as fast as I could, hit the board, layout off the table and bam! I land it! Yes! I can hear my mom.... well so can everyone else, 'cause she is the loudest mom at all the meets...... Before the meet she showed me a video about having faith. I believed in myself and my faith with determination landed me a silver medal at Nationals!
