Diary #19

Lola. Age 12.

December 21, 1994

Dear Book,

I GOT MY ARIEL! My no-handed cartwheel! I'm so excited, I could scream. I will hug everybody I'm so happy.

Bye,
Lola

I actually remember this and it was awesome! As a wee Lola, I took gymnastics classes from toddler time to high school. While not particularly graceful, I was fearless when it came to tumbling. How many back handsprings do you want me to do? 4? Done. It took me a while to get my no handed cartwheel, but it was badass when I finally hit it. Also, I'm fairly certain I would break myself if I tried to do it again now.
