At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.     That’s especially impressive,    42   she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t   43   how far away things are.     When she was little, her mom   44   that even though she couldn’t see   45  , she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the   46__   right away and gymnastics became her favorite.     Though learning gymnastics has been more   47   for her than for some of her tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her   48   stop her from doing anything that she wants to.     She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest   49   is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to   50   your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go.“ says Lola.     To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most   51   for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall   52   the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10 — her highest score yet.     Lola doesn’t want to be   53   differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision   54  . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her   55   attitude.     Lola never thinks about   56  . She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her   57   is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids   58   she grew up.     Lola is   59   of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her   60   for others is “just believe yourself”. 41.
