And so , yeah , like the , the social awkwardness definitely contributed to what college I ended up going to . Um so I ended up going to Miss Zoo for diving and I was there for two years . Um I loved it besides being in the State of Missouri and uh I won S ECs my sophomore year , which was a really big high and that just kind of gave me the confidence to transfer and go somewhere that I actually wanted to go to school just because , you know , on my recruitment trips , I was just so young , didn't know what I wanted to do , you know , kind of messed up my opportunities .
And again , you know , I was a homeschooled girl in the beginning of this . I remember one of the schools um for diving , uh one of the schools called me one day and I was really excited to get the call . And then when I picked up , they were , like , by the way , like , you know , the girls are kind of worried about you , they think you're bulimic .
Um And so going into , you know , high school , um I really didn't know how to like , talk to people which uh kind of was a problem and it really affected like a lot of , you know , what I did in high school . But during that time I started , that's when I started diving my freshman year of high school . And um I remember um it was really fun .
And he said she practices 18 hours a week , which is crazy because it just shows that , you know , you can be good at your sport and not have to , like , kill yourself and go through , you know , traumatizing things . Um , anyway , I continued gymnastics . So I was 15 and when I was 15 , I was a level 10 going elite .
And the reason they took me and not my sister was , they said I was cuter which you can also like already see how that can be a little of a red flag . But anyway , I started my competitive gymnastics when I was 10 and when I first started , I loved it and I excelled in it and it was really fun . Um , but once I got up in the levels , it kind of took away the fun part with the coaches .
