As a young kid, Beatrice competed in gymnastics for a year and a half before a devastating injury that forced her to retire from the sport.
Beatrice was 7 years old and was with her mother and 2 of her friends at the meet. they were just about to begin the competition.
"Beatrice, are you ready for the meet?" her mother asked.
"yes, mother" beatrice said "are you ready for the competition girls?"
"HELL YEAH" the girls said in unison.
Her friend, sandra started on the beam while stacy did the vault and beatrice did the floor for the first rotation, which went perfectly they all got 10s.
The second rotation, however went horrible sandra did the floor stacy did the beam and beatrice did the vault.
Beatrice ran to the jump pad and flipped 5 entire times but overflipped. She landed on her face straight down to the ground and her body weight collapsed on her neck , causing it to break in 3 places. She screamed on the very top of lungs in pain.
Her mother rushed to her.
"my dear daughter, are you alright?" Her mother asked.
"OH MY GOD, IT HURTS SO MUCH" Beatrice cried out.
The crowd saw the scene unfold in shock.
"What the hell just happened?" one person said.
Her mother demanded that someone calls an ambulance in which one person did so. 30 minutes later, beatrice was at the hospital getting reconstruction surgery on her neck.
Outside the emergency room, beatrice's mother was pacing and freaking out, worrying about her daughter. The doctor came out and went to her mother.
"doctor, is she going to be alright?" she asked.
"thank goodness, she is going to be ok" The doctor said.
"oh my god what a relief" her mom said.
The next morning, beatrice woke up with a neck brace on her neck.
"how are you feeling?" sandra asked.
"good, but my neck still hurts" Beatrice said.
"you have to wear that for 12 weeks, do you understand?" her mom asked.
"yes" she said.
