Reflection #6

Reflection #6
When I go to internship, I look forward to seeing Jennifer. She is a level nine student, the only level nine student at Providence Turners. The weeks that followed up to me getting my full, we would work together on getting tricks. It was like oh, you try this and then I’ll do it and we would do well. We made each other confident and we push each other. She was late today, made me sad. Hahaha. I got her to start doing her layout again because she is scared to do it but I told her that with the way that she flips to not worry at all. Guess what? She did it, it might not have been the highest but we will work on that next week. I feel bad because she hyper extended it backwards last week at competition, so you know she cannot do anything for a while. That makes me even sadder. Who is going to flip with me, aaaahhhh?
So I walk into class today and there is this guy standing with the other boys. I thought okay, I have a boy coach now, pretty cool. My thought on the positive note turned out to be negative. I’ll get into it in a little but to start off how I started our first conversation. I’m such a dork, I asked him how old he was and turns out that I am about three months older than him and I felt all big, It was a little awkward. He said that he took gymnastics which I believed because the coach said he did, but for real you can tell that he wasn’t a serious gymnast because if he was a serious gymnast he wouldn’t have the beer belly looking kind of thing going on.
So he is getting into his little coaching mode; but you know when you know how to do something but there is that one person that feels like they really have to tell you what to do? He is that person. I know what to do when it comes to my routines, but he keeps adding is insight every two seconds, but for the sake of him being a good coach, I let him talk. I do not know if I should be honest and tell him to shut-up because I know what to do or what? It makes me giggle inside.
.I am getting so lazy when it comes to doing my full-twist because I haven’t done it in about two weeks, if I don’t do it tonight I’m crazy. I think it is because I do it every week but every week I still get scared to do it. I don’t know why. I just don’t want to do something wrong and break my neck. I really would love to graduate but then again I know that I will not hurt myself. I really need to learn to suck things up.
I decided today that because I full-twist I am eligible to try out for a statewide cheerleading team, I have the dancing experience and now I have the hard tricks that everyone needs to get into these sports. When I go to Hawaii next year for college, I’m going to try out for the all star team because I don’t think that Hawaii Pacific University has a cheerleading team. I know that they have a spirit team and such, but maybe those are the cheerleading teams. There is one more thing that I need to get and I think that that is alternates. If I don’t have those then I don’t think that I could get in. I will get those soon.
