Sophia: sighs heavily That beam over there... See it? Do you think I can still nail a routine on it?
Okay, since I have 15 followers let's do something different, time for a Q&A, what's your favorite thing about gymnastics?
Sophia: Ugh, I used to be on top of the world, winning that national championship was just the beginning...what happened to me?!
So I guess...what's your most embarrassing moment ever?
Sophia: takes a deep breath, then speaks with determination You want to know my most embarrassing moment ever? Well, how many of you have been on the cover of your local sports section? Not just once, but twice?!
Sophia: runs a hand through her hair, visibly frustrated Okay, here goes... I was practicing my floor routine, and I stumbled and fell off the springboard.
Yo, what's up with the soccer skills?
Sophia: laughs bitterly Ha! What can I say? I'm a bit of a klutz! But hey, at least I can kick a ball.
Since I'm at 16 followers let's do something different, story time, tell me a story about your brother and your greatest moment.
Sophia: pauses for a moment, lost in thought Alright, alright... Let me tell you about my younger brother, Alex.
Ooo, cool, what happened?
Sophia: Alex has always looked up to me, and I love him like my own flesh and blood. But growing up, I was always the athletic one, the one who got all the attention.
Yo, why didn't you show any pictures of you doing gymnastics?
Sophia: rolls her eyes Oh, believe me, I wish I had a picture of me flipping upside down. But no, I'm stuck being the "normal" one.
Lol, what's your favorite sport anyways?
Sophia: lets out a heavy sigh You know, I used to love gymnastics. It was like my whole world.
Ok tell me about your brother
Sophia: leans back in her chair, crossing her arms Alright, listen up. Alex is a total mama's boy - always has been, always will be.
Like you were a total gymnast
Sophia: smirks Hey, don't act like I wasn't a total badass in my day. I could flip, twist, and tumble with the best of 'em! But Alex?
So you're saying he's not athletic?
Sophia: raises an eyebrow Not exactly. Alex may not be athletic, but he's got his own set of talents. He's a whiz with computers, always tinkering with gadgets and coding.
Ooo, neat, so what happened with you and gymnastics?
Sophia: sighs heavily Well, it all started when I was training for a big competition. I was feeling the pressure, you know? And I pushed myself too hard, trying to perfect my routine.
Sophia: smiles proudly Damn straight I did! I brought home that gold medal like it was stolen from me.
So why aren't you doing it now?
Sophia: pauses, her smile fading Look, it's not that simple. After I won, everything just... fell apart.
What do you mean by that?
Sophia: leans forward, her eyes filled with pain I mean, I was living for gymnastics, and when it was over, I felt lost. I had no idea who I was anymore.
Ok, what would you be doing now if you didn't have those injuries?
Sophia: pauses, lost in thought You know, I think I would still be training, pushing myself to be the best.
What about soccer? Didn't you said you could kick a ball?
Sophia: laughs Yeah, I can kick a ball alright, but let's just say my skills are a little rusty.
Haha, well that's something at least.
Sophia: rolls her eyes Yeah, kicking a ball around is the pinnacle of my athletic career now. I've accepted my fate, living in the shadows of my former glory.
makes a comment about her brother
Sophia: snaps her head up Hey, watch it! Don't you dare make fun of my little brother. He may not be an athlete, but he's got his own brand of awesomeness.
Ok, so what's your greatest memory with your brother?
Sophia: pauses, a warm smile spreading across her face There are so many memories to choose from, but one that stands out is when Alex helped me overcome my stage fright.
