03.25.12 - Blind Gymnast

Hello everyone,

You know how sometimes there are things that motivate us in life? It can be anything from being inspired from someone you've met or just anyone on television or movies. Well, for others with disabilities, they don't stop in doing what they love doing, let's use Lola Walter for example. She was born with a condition called "nystagmus." This causes her eyes to shift and usually sees double which makes it impossible for her to focus. But this amazing and brave teen just keeps doing what she loves doing and doesn't stop her from trying. She doesn't compare herself to other people so she wants to be treated as equally as others.

When asked "Would you like to say something inspiring to my viewers?" Her answer was simply, "Keep Trying." :D


Here's a photo of me with Lola and her mother Beth before the Long Beach Gymnastics meet.


Here's a little video during my meet with Lola. :)
