I have been practising gymnastics since Primary One. My favourite sport
is gymnastics. A gymnast has to be brave and smart, because you need 2019-2020 Harmony
to be calm when you are practising gymnastics. Every skill in gymnastics
is not easy, but if you practise more, you can do anything you want.

During class suspension, we could not practise at school, which made me
feel bored. However, I suddenly had a fantastic idea. Why don’t I practice
at home? Even though my home is not as spacious as the school, we can
still practise some easy skills, such as stretching and physical fitness. So
I practised at home every day to maintain my standard.

Many competitions were cancelled because of COVID-19. We need to
cherish every gymnastics lesson. As long as you have a dream, you should
never give up. I am very grateful that I am a member of the Gymnastics
Team in WFJLPS.
