Up next on the high beam is number seven of team De- sert Devils!” I heard the announcer broadcast. Raising my eyes to the crowd, I saw my family grinning, ready to watch. Quickly looking back to the judges, I waited for their salute. My stomach was filled with anxious 1)butterflies; the balance beam was my specialty. After they scrutinized my
2)stance, they gave me approval to begin. I slowly inhaled as I mounted the beam, and suddenly I was effortlessly gliding across the narrow surface, lost in my 3)routine.
Gymnastics has consumed my life from ages five to eleven. Practic-ing 15 hours a week, the sport molded me into a hard-working, goal-setting child filled with aspirations. I still remember one particular 4)stunt that, for whatever reason, I could not seem to master. I dreaded
the 5)front hip circle on the high bar. Even with my teammates encouraging me, I could never follow through with the final turn.
Knowing that a state competition was just around the corner, I realized I could cost my team the gold medal. Why can’t I do this? I’m the only one who can’t master this trick! The way I saw it, I was a failure if I couldn’t do what seemed impossible.
The coaches pushed us to our limits. Passing out or throwing up was common, and if we didn’t push ourselves, we were viewed as quitters. I suppose that is why I was so affected by my inability to master that front hip circle.
The day before the competition, my coaches and I planned a slight change in my routine that eliminated the front hip circle. We all knew that this would 6)dock me
major points, but it was our only option. I had given up for the first time in my life.
The next day, I was a nervous wreck. This competition was crucial; winning the 7)Arizona State Competition would put us above our closest rival. As I did my floor and 8)vault routines, my mind was preoccupied with the high bar. It was not until I mounted the balance beam that a sense of rationality persuaded me that I was a powerful being who controlled my future. This 9)epiphany gave me great strength as I finished my balance beam routine with a score of 9.3. I moved to my high bar routine and for whatever reason, I suddenly felt as if I could accomplish anything. I could do the front hip circle, I just knew I could! Shakily continuing the routine that my coaches had decided was too difficult, I plunged forward with all my might and thrust my body over the top of the bar.
Time stopped as I felt my body make a full rotation around the bar. But this time I didn’t fall off as I rounded the last turn! No, I did, a 10)feat I had thought impossible. I grinned as I finished with a strong sense of passion. I looked to my coaches as I dismounted and waited for their reaction. Their faces glowed with pride as they told me they had
always believed in me, I just hadn’t believed in myself. That competition awarded our overall team the gold medal. I was also personally awarded the gold medal for my balance beam routine, but nothing was more rewarding than what I had accomplished on the high bar.

That one competition rewarded me with more than a gold medal. That day I not only learned how important inner strength is, but also how miraculous believing in yourself can be. I never realized that I had the ability to control my own life until that moment. I always felt my
parents, coaches, or friends were the leaders whom I followed. Sometimes you have to follow your own heart to
realize that it is possible to conquer the impossible.
平衡木项目下一位上场的是沙漠魔鬼队的七号选手！”听到赛场的广播，我往观众席一瞧，看见家人正对我咧嘴灿笑，就等着看我的表现了。我匆匆把目光移回裁判那儿，等待他们示意。紧张、焦虑，我的心里乱作一团；平衡木可是我的强项。裁判们审视过我的姿态，示意我开始。我缓缓吸了口气，跳上平衡木，马上我就在那狭窄的平面上行跳自如，似乎不费吹灰之力，完全沉浸在动作中。
五岁到十一岁期间，体操占据了我的人生。每周十五个小时的训练，这项运动把我锻炼成一个勤奋刻苦、有目标、充满抱负的小孩。我还记得那时候有个特殊的动作招式不知道为什么我好像总学不会。在高杠上做 “向前腹回环”是我最怕的。就算有队友的打气鼓励，我也从没完整地把最后一圈回环做好。全州的大赛快要举行，我意识到自己可能会拖累队伍拿不到团体金牌。我为什么就做不到呢？我是唯一学不会个中窍门的！我当时的想法是：如果做不到那看似不可能完成的动作，我就是个失败者。
教练们把我们推向极限。练到晕厥、呕吐是家常便饭，如果不拼命超越自己就会被视作轻言放弃的懦夫。之所以为自己做不了那个“向前腹回环”而深深自责，我想就是因为这个原因。
比赛前一天，我和教练计划把我的那套动作做一点改动，去掉了“向前腹回环”。我们都知道这样会给扣掉不少分，但无奈只能那么做。那是我人生中头一次放弃。
接着那一天，我紧张得失魂落魄。那次的亚利桑那州大赛乃关键一役，赢了，我们就可以打败紧随相逼的对手。在比自由体操和跳马两个项目时，我一直在想高杠的事。直到跳上平衡木我终于想通，心里有个理性之声在说服自己：我是强大的，我能掌控自己的未来。此刻的顿悟让我充满力量，最终在平衡木项目上我得到9.3的高分。接着轮到高杠的比赛。不知为什么，我突然感觉自己可以完成一切。我能做好“向前腹回环”，我就知道我能！带点战战兢兢，我继续完成那套教练们觉得难度太大的动作，用尽全力往前纵身，旋过杠顶。
时间似乎完全停顿下来，我只感觉到自己在绕高杠全旋。到了旋转的最后一圈，我没像以往那样掉下来！我没掉下来，之前以为不可能完成的壮举我今天做到了。带着满腔热忱，我完成了整套动作，笑逐颜开。落地那一刻我往教练们的方向看过去，等待他们的反应。他们一脸自豪地告诉我，他们一直相信我能做到，只是以往我没那份自信而已。最终我们队在大赛里拿了团体金牌。我个人也在平衡木项目上拿到了金牌。不过给我最大满足感的还是要数自己在高杠上完成的动作。
那次比赛给我带来的不仅仅只是一块金牌。当天我不但学到内在意志力的重要性，还体会到相信自我的神奇力量。直到那一刻，我才真正意识到我有掌控自己命运的能力。以前总觉得自己只该跟着父母、教练、朋友，让他们领路。但有时候，你得听从内心的呼唤去尝试，去努力，你会领略到，之前觉得无从下手的难题其实是完全可以被自己征服的。
