My freshmen year of high school I moved to the next highest level in gymnastics.  I struggled that year with the pressure of both the changes in school and gymnastics.  That year I learned to always stay "calm, cool, and collected" and not get frustrated when things don't go the way I want.  I think I learned a lot that year and grew as a person.
