Tarra's Story
From Tarra:
I just like to do what makes me happy. I like getting A’s on my report cards. I like the feeling when I’m wearing my gymnastics medals. And I like making my moms proud. We’re a close family, and celebrate every victory together. When I hurt my knee and didn’t know if I could ever do gymnastics again, we sat down to make my medical care decision together. When my doctor saw how scared I was, she told me she had once been a gymnast like me. She promised that after I was back at gymnastics, we would go out and turn cartwheels together and celebrate.
