@kenz.koput: My scoliosis has now gotten to the point where it requires me to be done from gymnastics, and to be looking into needing surgery. This sport has been my life passion since childhood. The gym is not just a place where I learned how to flip, it is where I have grown, learned, and found a sense of belonging. My teammates and coaches are my closest friends and my second family. The thought of leaving this all behind is heartbreaking, but I understand that my health needs to come first. It's a tough pill to swallow, but I'm determined to find new ways to do what i love most.
