Dear Gymnastics,

I want to express my deepest gratitude for everything this sport has given me. It's been a roller coaster journey of ups and downs, but through it all, my love for the sport has never wavered. Gymnastics has always brought me so much joy. 

I'm especially grateful for how it taught me to lean on God and not my own understanding, to trust Him, myself, and the people around me. Gymnastics has taught me discipline, resilience, and the importance of perseverance. It has shown me that I am capable of so many incredible things. 

I'm also incredibly grateful for the wonderful teammates and coaches I've had. As I move on to new adventures, what will stick with me the most is all the laughter. While I'll miss the gym, I'll carry the lessons and memories with me always. Thank you for everything, gymnastics. 

Love,
Ruby Goad Signature
