ABSTRACT

Christy Robinson is about to be a ninth-grader at Washington Jr. High. She just moved to Laughlin, Nevada, over the summer and is ready to take on the challenges that lie ahead of her at her new school. Christy has always been a very good athlete and is looking forward to competing as a gymnast for the Washington Wildcats. She practiced throughout the summer and worked out regularly at a local gym. She dreams of one day competing in college. She understands that in order to achieve her dream she is going to have to work very hard and devote the majority of her time to gymnastics. She is a pretty good student, and in her elementary and middle school days she was always able to make at least Bs, even without studying.
