Last week was a good week. You learned how to do a cartwheel in P.E. class and managed to walk from one end of the beam to the other without falling—though there were a few good wobbles in there. But hey, there are only ten levels to go, right?

You're great at floor exercises and look great in a leotard, but you haven't quite been able to master the bars, balance beam, or...anything else, really. You get nauseous every time you flip. You should probably just switch to ballet.

Years of your life have been spent in the gym. You put your heart and soul into your training sessions and you've won a few medals and trophies along the way. You're at the top of your team and could out-flip, out-split, and out-stick any of them. The bad news? Your team sucks. Sorry.

You are one of the unheralded champions of the gymnastics world; the ones winning state championships and beating off injuries with a stick. Spending hours upon hours in the gym since you were a toddler have finally paid off. So find a Division-II or -III team that needs your skills and might be willing to pay for them.

Rumor has it that you somersaulted out of your mother's womb. Seriously, you were born for this. Congratulations on however many medals you won at the most recent summer Olympics. Enjoy that Division-I scholarship.
