Day One:
To start off, on  July 2nd. It’s a surprise that I didn’t wake up until 5am this morning. But I needed that extra hour of sleep. I’m glad I got it. I have one event today and it is running long jump. I competed against another team MO athlete, I’m SO ready to show the world, and myself what I can do! In the end I got 2nd place! And my teammate got 1st. Jesse has three events today, he is doing softball throw and 50 meter run. At the end he got bronze in softball throw and in 50 meter run! When I got award, I was so happy! My family came and saw me getting my award, I almost cried when I saw them. Especially my little niece!
