Handspring Trainers and My Child Geraldine

It wasn’t fate, coincidence or happenstance that brought my child to learning gymnastics even at such a young age; it was destiny.

Geraldine is pretty and vibrant young lass who loves daisies and cherry blossoms. She is very smart and very curious about the things in her surrounding. She is very strong and independent even at the age of six. She is very unique and a little domineering at times.

One day while eating breakfast, Geraldine told me that she want to enroll to a gymnastics class for no other reason but she wants hang out and play. Hearing her reasons, I smiled and reached her hand and told her that “gymnastics is not a game.” She didn’t believed me. So, I did enrolled her to Mrs. Noris’ gymnastics class.

For weeks, the word gymnastics was never brought up in our house, which made me decide to visit one of her sessions during my break. There, I saw how she was pleasantly performing and using the handspring trainers in doing her stunt. She knows too well how to use those handspring trainers despite how small and delicate her hands are. She’s amazing.

After years of training, Geraldine has brought so many medals from Olympic events and have brought glory to USA. Her first training with that handspring trainers were but her tiny steps to reach her destiny. I am so proud of her.
