A Leap(跳跃)to Honor

Leaping on a narrow balance beam(平衡木) is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.

To perfect her skills, Lola ________ for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.

That’s especially impressive, ________ she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t ________ how far away things are.

When she was little, her mom ________ that even though she couldn’t see ________, she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the ________ right away and gymnastics became her favorite.

Though learning gymnastics has been more ________ for her than for some of her tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her ________ stop her from doing anything that she wants to.

She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest ________ is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to ________ your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go,” says Lola.

To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most ________ for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t ________ the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10 — her highest score yet.

Lola doesn’t want to be ________ differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision ________. She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her ________ attitude.

Lola never thinks about ________. She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her ________ is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to ________ what she’s learned to other kids when she grew up.

Lola is ________ of all her hard work and success. She says it has helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her ________ for others is “just believe yourself”.
