So, today I had to do a floor routine in my gymnastics class. Cartwheels, handstands, spins, and jumps- all that good stuff. I even dressed up in black tights and put it to music. The routine went pretty well, but what really made it a cool was that about 10 of my teammates showed up to watch me. A sophomore on the team, Josh Wood (#10), sent out a mass text and an e-mail to the team inviting everyone to support me. My teammates even brought some other friends with them. My professor was surprised and impressed to see my teammates excitement and willingness to come to my 2 minute attempt at gymnastics. I could feel the energy in the room as "Pure Some Sugar On Me" began to play... and the rest is just a blur. As I stood in my final pose, out of breath, I looked to my teammates and saw a bunch of my brothers smiling back at me clapping and laughing, and I said to myself, I am one lucky guy to have such awesome friends. This is just one of the simple, little things that makes this team great. Hopefully we'll be able to share more about ourselves through this blog in this time leading up to our Colombia trip. I hope you enjoy getting a little insight to who we are and what we are about.
