Leaping on a narrow balance beam（平衡木）is not easy. But Lola Walter，a 13-year-old gymnast，is an expert at it. To perfect her skills，Lola 1 for four hours a day， five days a week. At the state championships in March， she finished seventh out of 16 girls.
That’s especially impressive. Since she is legally blind， born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly， she often sees double and can’t 2 how far away things are.
When she was little， her mom noticed that even though she couldn’t see 3 ， she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the 4 right away and gymnastics became her favorite.
Though learning gymnastics has been more 5 for her than for some of her teammates， she has never quit. She doesn’t let her 6 stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
To be a top-level gymnast，one must be brave. The beam is probably the most 7 for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition， Lola didn’t fall off the beam. In fact，she got an 8.1 out of 10 — her highest 8 yet.
Lola doesn’t want to be 9 differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions， the judges don’t know about her vision 10 . She doesn’t tell them， because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her 11 attitude.
Lola never thinks about 12 . She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her 13 is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids when she grows up.
Lola is 14 of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics， too. Her 15 for others is “just believe in yourself”.

Leaping on a narrow balance beam（平衡木）is not easy. But Lola Walter，a 13-year-old gymnast，is an expert at it. To perfect her skills，Lola 1 for four hours a day， five days a week. At the state championships in March， she finished seventh out of 16 girls.
That’s especially impressive. Since she is legally blind， born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly， she often sees double and can’t 2 how far away things are.
When she was little， her mom noticed that even though she couldn’t see 3 ， she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the 4 right away and gymnastics became her favorite.
Though learning gymnastics has been more 5 for her than for some of her teammates， she has never quit. She doesn’t let her 6 stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
To be a top-level gymnast，one must be brave. The beam is probably the most 7 for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition， Lola didn’t fall off the beam. In fact，she got an 8.1 out of 10 — her highest 8 yet.
Lola doesn’t want to be 9 differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions， the judges don’t know about her vision 10 . She doesn’t tell them， because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her 11 attitude.
Lola never thinks about 12 . She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her 13 is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids when she grows up.
Lola is 14 of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics， too. Her 15 for others is “just believe in yourself”.
