It’s almost my turn and I don’t know why I’m so nervous. It’s not like I
haven’t done gymnastics in front of people before. This shouldn’t be so
important to me but it’s the first thing I’ve done for myself … ever. I’m not
really nervous about my skills; I know I have the ability to do well as long as
I remain focused. I’m nervous because what I’m about to do is forbidden.
I snicker out loud, making the girl warming up beside me give me a strange
look. But I’m strange, so I’m used to it. Most parents would be thrilled if
their daughter wanted to try out for cheerleading during their freshman year
of college. It’s wholesome, athletic, and forwards school pride. My father is
all about school pride, just not this way.
He puts up with the athletic
programs because they bring in money, but he’s always made it known that
it’s not for me. My years of gymnastics were to keep me out of his hair when
I was young. It would have looked great on a college application, if I was
allowed to apply to any of the schools I wanted to go to, that is.
But as the daughter of the Dean of Walton College, I was destined to go here.
His multi-generational legacy looms over my head and I can’t escape it. It
could have been a one-way ticket to popularity if I wasn’t so busy with the

all of that. There’s no time for socializing just for fun, and certainly no time
for something so crass as cheerleading. Of course, the only thing that gave
me any happiness—gymnastics—doesn’t have a program here, not that it
ever mattered. My father deemed it childish from the start, since I wasn’t
quite good enough to head to the Olympics.
If it hadn’t always been that way, I would have started thinking he did it on
purpose and wanted me to be miserable. The truth is, I don’t think he cares
enough to see that I am miserable, so long as I keep to whatever it is he
deems acceptable.
The judges call my name and my heart nearly stops. Once I’m out there on
the wooden floor of the basketball auditorium, though, I remember that I’ve
worked hard for this. I might not be an Olympian, but I’m still strong. Ever
since last summer, when I decided to actually go for this long-held dream,
