Dear Electra,
When will I ever learn to try? Our P.E topic for this term is gymnastics. I was trying out the vault by jumping over it, but every time I landed on top it, not over it. This happened approximately seven times (which is the same amount of times I went on it). My classmate taught me how to jump over it; I understood, but somehow couldn't jump over it. My teacher took the trampoline off and made the vault into something we can jump on. My male classmates were the bosses of it and landed perfectly onto the vault. When it was my turn I ran towards it but never jumped. I was embarrassed. I wanted to sob in the corner, so I did. I attracted some of my classmates as they asked me what was wrong. I told them about how I got uncomfortable when I was running towards the vault and failed.
"Well, did you try?" one of the girls asked.
I put this to thought. I didn't actually try, I just stood there and ran away to the corner and sob.
"Nope. Not at all." I replied.
"Well, we can help you with your gymnastics. We can show you a few tricks at lunchtime." They said. These girls were gymnasts, and very close to their gym teacher.
"No thank you." I said reluctantly.
I then left the gymnasium with my gear and reflected in the changing room, still embarrassed by what happened with the vault.
