albee8d 1 / 1 Jan 1, 2013 #1If you could read over my essay and critique as you feel it is needed.Topic:Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences in the space below (1000 character maximum).I didn't go into gymnastics with the idea that I'd be learning life lessons; I just wanted to compete. I did the sport I loved until my body no longer would allow it, after a handful of injuries there was no way I could continue. I am now able to take away much more important things that just the room full of medals. Being a gymnast you are used to the idea of perfection. Striving for perfection has been instilled in my life at a very young age. To think of life as a gymnastics beam routine allows for a critical realization that life will have errors along the way but if you do your best you may still be able to stick the landing. I now live my life with that mindset, I understand that the idea of perfection is achievable but not without a few wobbles. The passion and drive that is required to excel in the sport is the same passion that drives me to obtain my long-term goals now. Being a gymnast for so many years has taught me more than I would have expected.
