Okay so here's the memory!
When I was younger I really wanted to be a gymnast! I really did. I even asked my mom to sign me up for classes. Unfortunately she never did :/ So never got to experience it. I use to watch the channel where gymnast would compete and I thought they looked so cool! (I really liked the attire)
However that dream changed. In elementary during gym I use to do headstands....but not the correct way though lol and I didn't know that. I would place my head on the ground and level myself against a wall and just chill that way.
But then one day I did that and SNAP! I ended up spraining my neck lol Everytime I think about now, I always think "I could've broken my neck back then!" haha
I was never told "don't do that, you can hurt your neck", so I didn't know.
So I ended up going to the nurse....I don't think I cried. But I did walk through school the rest of the day with my head tilted to one side and my ear connected to my shoulder like my ear needed a shoulder to lean on or something lol I even walked home that way.
So after that I realized how dangerous it can be doing headstands. And once during gym the teacher had taken out a balance beam, and it was way too high!
Since then I've never looked back down the road and thought "y'know, I think I'll do some gymnastics" lol
But now that I think about it, I would probably still learn some moves, just to get over that feeling I had before. I still think it's a pretty interesting activity.
Me and my younger sister were also interested in ballroom dancing. I think we may have just thought the dancers were fancy. We would watch a television program that broadcast ballroom dancing couples. Then we would slip on a pair of socks, push things to the side and make room in the living room and glide around on the floor like we were ballroom dancing lol Ohhh~ the memories~
