I like ritmic gimnastic.


When I was younger, I went to a catholic girl's school.
One day I was doing sport with my classmates and a teacher invited me to participate in gimnastics.
I wasn't very happy because all my friends were invited to play volleyball, but finally I decided to go to gimnastic because my mom told me that it was going to be fun and that was a good oportunity to learn something new.

So, I am practicing gimnastic since then (like 12 years)
I think that this sport is perfect for me because it has all the things that I love doing, is the best combination of ballet and modern music. Also, you have to use different kind of elements like ribbon, hoop, ball and string.

I went to a lot of competitions, in which I won a lot of medals.
Also, I received a lot of prizes at school for being a constant and persevering girl, because I used to spend a lot of time practicing and in spite of that I was a really good student.
So I can say that doing sport helped me to build up my personality, I became very responsible, I learnt how to work in group and how to face the frustation of losing.

Went I started college, all my free time was dedicated to study, because I was in bachillerato, that is a very difficult career.
I was very sad and stressed because gimnasctic has always been my way of distraction and relax. So I started to play football with some friends and we created a team.

Last year I arrived to Kinesiology,I has more free time so I talked with my old gimnastic coach and she decided to train me again, because this university doesn't have ritmic gimnastic as a sport.
So now I am working in order to improve my elongation and gimnastic skills in order to represent this university in some competition any time soon, without leaving football.
