<p>My response:</p>

<p>Immediately after learning to stand on my feet, I was bouncing off the walls. Upon turning four years old, my parents enrolled in a gymnastics class. I instantly fell in love with it and continued to be a gymnast for over 12 years. Freshman year of high school, I joined the diving team, which I attended every day before gymnastics practice, until junior year of high school when I dropped gymnastics to focus more on diving. Thanks to my gymnastics background, I have become successful in diving, which has become my absolute passion. I love the thrill of jumping off the board and fitting in as many somersaults and twists I can before entering the water.</p>

<p>Your parents enrolled in a gymnastics class? Really your dad was doing splits? </p>

<p>Otherwise nothings wrong with it but its not killer. I can’t pin it on anything specific though, sorry.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
