Hey Everyone, Wow, I just recently realized how long it has been since I have written to everyone. I’m sorry. I don’t really spend anytime on the internet. Hum, let’s see what’s been going on? What a summer?! It was awesome to see the USA do so well at the Olympics. I am really happy for everyone. I will admit it was hard at first for me but ya know, life goes on. I have so much more gymnastics to do and realize that I have a lot to work on.

Being at the gym has been alittle strange, it was me most of the summer by myself with the pre-elites and the other girls. We have gotten so many new girls that are doing awesome and will probably test elite later this year. I do miss Terin and Courtney but am happy for whatever they are doing. There is one other new elite at the gym, Sarah DeMeo from Diamond gymnastics. I am still training like 35 hours a week and learning a lot of new skills. We will be changing my routines around and adding some new stuff, but I’m not telling yet!, so hopefully I don’t jinx myself! LOL I am also working on making my DTY better and also learning a new vault, maybe even 2 new vaults. I have decided that this next year is mine and I am going to kick some major butt!! I want to try for 05 Worlds! I just need to keep working hard and it will come.

I can’t believe that I have started my junior year in high school. Man, time flies! I love my classes and teachers. I have 5 classes: Peace and Justice, Algebra II, US History, American Literature, and Chemistry. Right now things are going well, just got mid-term grades and I have all A’s except for American Literature and I have a B.. dang it! My teacher isn’t counting my extra credit until the quarter so I better get that to an A!!!!! I am also in National Honor Society and we have to go service projects. I have to do recycling on a monthly basis and I also am a tutor for Geometry and Algebra. I go in early before school to help kids. I love it!! I am also in Student Council and we are planning homecoming this year... I was on the t-shirt committee and we decided on the slogan. Be so good they can’t ignore you, thought that was pretty cool. I would like to thank everyone for supporting me. I can’t wait to get back to training camps to see everyone! We don’t have a meet schedule yet but I know I will be doing the classics and hopefully Nationals this year.. man, those are good times seeing everyone and being a team.

Love Sarah
