Lara, a bright-eyed girl with brown, curly hair, stood in front of the mirror, her heart racing with excitement. "Today is the day!" she exclaimed, wearing her sparkly pink leotard. Her mom smiled, saying, "You’ve trained so hard, and I know you can do it, sweetie! Just believe in yourself!" With a deep breath, Lara took her gym bag and headed to the competition, imagining herself soaring through the air as she practiced her tumbling routine in her mind.
At the competition, Lara looked around at the other gymnasts. They were all so talented! "I can do this!" she whispered to herself. When her turn came, she took a deep breath and stepped onto the mat. "I believe in you, Lara!" her mom cheered from the audience. With each flip and twist, Lara felt like she was dancing with the air. When she landed her final move, the crowd erupted in cheers. Finally, she received a shiny gold medal around her neck, and her mom hugged her tightly, whispering, "I knew you could do it!"
