At the age of 2‚ I was signed up for ballet lessons. Once a week‚ I would travel to my town’s small‚ run-down studio to dance for a half and hour.

Tumbling class started at 6:30 and we started off on a white blow-up tumble track. I was waiting in line to take my turn. It was finally my turn and I did a back handspring‚ toe touch‚ front tuck all connected‚ but when I did my toe touch my ankles rolled in and I fell down.
