The Future Is Here

When I look at this mat, I feel a buzz inside my belly.

It brings back so many memories of both pain and disappointment and joy and excitement. 

The words 'THE FUTURE IS HERE' send chills down my spine.

I first stepped onto this stage at 13 years old.

I'm now 16.

When I stepped off for the first time, I remember saying "Can we do it again?"

That's the buzz it gives me.

The flashing lights, the roaring crowd, the pressure, all whisked away by stepping one foot on the mat.

This is where I belong.

The first time I set foot on this mat was in 2011 when I was a Level 1 Junior on a team of just 8 girls. Now I'm preparing to go there as a Level 2 Senior with a team of 20! It excites me to think in just 5 months I will be running round-off back handsprings across an international stage in front of hundreds (if not thousands) of fellow cheerleaders, ex-teammates and parents!

Sorry this was only a small post, was just feeling really excited at the time!
