Dear STUNT,
I can't believe it has already been four years, a journey that feels like it just started. I wish I had more time, but if this is my last goodbye to you, I want to thank you for the unforgettable journey. Shaping me into the person I have become today, a strong, confident woman ready to take on any challenge head-on. Anyone who knows me and you knows that I love you so much, and you are my true passion, someone who was always excited to be on the mat and took everything to heart because the sport meant so much to me.
I'll be honest—it wasn't always easy. You challenged me in ways I never saw coming. You pushed me past my physical limits, brought me through injuries, and tested me deeply, where there were moments I wanted to give up on you. But looking back, I wouldn't change a single struggle. Those were the moments I grew. I didn't just become a better athlete or a leader for my teammates, but I became a better person. Because of you, I am more confident, disciplined, and resilient through everything I accomplish. The most important lesson you taught me wasn't a skill or a routine; it was that I am not alone. You showed me that it's okay to ask for help and that I don't have to carry the weight by myself. Whether it was hitting a difficult pyramid or navigating life outside the gym, you taught me the power of the people standing next to me.
Thank you for the coaches that you brought into my life, for believing in me when I didn't, for always being supportive, and for being someone I could always look up to. Not only were you there to coach me in stunt, but you all also provided life advice. Stunt brought me teammates who became more than friends. We spent those late nights and early mornings striving for perfection, falling and getting back up until every stunt was flawless. From the big loss to making history again and again. Those shared victories and the long hours are memories I will treasure forever. Each of y'all has a special place in my heart, and I will always be grateful that Stunt brought me y'all!
I remember stepping onto this mat for the first time, nervous, unconfident, and wondering if I belonged. Today, I step off for the last time, knowing that I was right where I belonged, next to the people who loved and trusted me. Saying goodbye is so hard because you were never just a sport to me. You were my constant. You were my safe place. I will always be grateful for the experiences that I had with you and the relationships that came out of it.
