taken from the book i am looking to get published by a publisher:
The beginning:
In 1988 in a town called Telford where I arrived from my mother. I was born into a very normal family my father was musician for Thorsby band and my brother was a football player for Admaston also he was a musician like my father my mother was just the normal housewife she was also my taxi to and from gym. I grew up in a good atmosphere a normal one anyway. As I grew older my parents started to realise that I was very different from my brother and the rest of my family. Then as a toddler I would only walk on my tiptoes I refused to walk on flat feet. My parents didn’t understand why would I only walk on tiptoes nobody knew? So my parents decided that something should be done so they took me to the local doctors surgery where a doctor called mrs Elizabeth Herd examined me and recommended that I was to join some sort I sport like gymnastics or ballet. This was because my calves were to big and to tight for my age. So I needed to go and try to releive some of the tension in my calf muscles so that I wouldn’t be in pain. We then arrived back home and my dad got straight onto the telephone phoning gymnastics clubs around the area where I lived and he managed to get through to our local one called Park Wrekin College School of Gymnastics and Dance. This was the biggest gymnastics club in my hometown. It was a very well known gymnastics club. The lady on the telephone told methat I would have to go up to the gymnastics club one night and have a word with the coach Sue Thorne. So my dad and I went up to the gymnastics club as soon as we could and had a word with the coach. After a long chat with sue we decided that I should start recreational gymnastics lessons twice a week. The first day that I was due to go to the gymnastics club I couldn’t wait I was so excited and I only wanted to do it for fun and to make friends. After a long and fun couple of months I started to improve and then one day Sue turned around and suggested that I started attending Saturdays lessons aswell as the two nights in the week.I was really excited when Sue asked me to attend more lessons. I was actually quite scared but I was also very very excited. All sorts of ideas were going through my head at this moment in time I didn’t know what to expect next. I just expected that I would stay at recreational level. When I first went to my Saturday lesson it was Sue and her daughter Kellie that took me under their wings. Kellie and Sue spent most of my training sessions teaching me all the basics that I needed to know to start me off in my gymnastics career. I was determined to listen. But I also liked to have a bit of fun when I was in the gym but we got that sometimes but we had to be disciplined and we had to learn that we were there for a purpose and that was like school you went to learn good things. But often when I went to the gym my mum and dad struggled to get me into the gym because I would just stay with my mum and cry. I wouldn’t let go of her. Sue tried her best to take me off my mum to go into the gym but it didn’t work all the time it resulted in getting Christine Still the head coach of the gymnastics club to come and get me and then I went in.chris always used to scare me when I was younger she always used to yell at the older more experienced girls and its frightened me. Whenever I was in the gym I always wished that some day I would be as good as the girls in Chris’s group but we would just have to see how much I progressed. I was then starting to train for my first ever competition which was only a club one for the babies of the club which that was me. After training at Park Wrekin for a while I now knew that I had the potential to go far. Everybody was always saying that I was never scared to try anything but I was. I tried not to be scared because I wanted to prove to people that I really could do well. I tried my best all the time.
