My name is Josee DuBrule and I am the author of this gymnastics poem. I was inspired to write about this particular subject because when I was in second grade, gymnastics was my passion. I am a proud Osceola alumni and attended the school from kindergarten to fifth grade. I am now in 12th grade at Seabreeze High School and plan to attend the University of Central Florida after graduating in May. During the summer, I am a Volusia County Ocean Rescue lifeguard and an avid lover of puppies and the beach.
Children's Poem
THE GYMNAST
By Josee DuBrule
Confidence in my movement
As I flip on the beam
Chin up as I nail every turn
Fire in my heart
As I leap across the sky blue floor
My flips show the determination in my heart
Fierceness in my eyes
As I bolt towards the vault
Power in my body as I stick my perfect landing
Grace in my movement
As I swing on the bar
Floating through the air like a bird in the sky
Without this sport
I would never feel the power that I do
And the feeling that I can conquer the world
