Payton Helms '27 Recruiting Profile

I am a level 8 gymnast and I have done this since I was 7 ( I'm 13 now ) and I have loved every minute of it. Gymnastics has always been a big part of my life even before I stared doing it. When I was little I did ballet for two years but always wanted to do gymnastics. My whole family watched  college gymnastics as I was growing up just out of amazement. I was homeschooled Kindergarten -7th grade but starting 8th grade my little sister Addie  and I started at Lee Park Prep. Lee Park Prep is a private christian school. They start at 6th grade and go to 12th grade. At my time there I have learned so much, and I have gained a new appreciation for history. My dad loves history and is always watching some sort of documentary  (like right now) and not till this year have I really enjoyed it but now it's my favorite subject. I am now at the end of my first year at Lee Park  and will be going back next year.

    A little more about my family, I am the second of three girls which means I am the middle child so naturally I am the funniest. My Mom and Dad will have been for married f 19 years in September. My older sister is 17 we are 4 years apart while me and my little sister are 2 years apart. We live on farm, we have lots of cats. I don't like cats. But they just keep showing up so what can you do. We have three dogs that are ours but we live nexts to my grandma and she has like 10. The horses are my favorite! We have 5 and bored 2. Living on a farm takes some work but lucky for me my favorite thing to do besides gymnastics is being outside. Hiking, swimming, boating, and fishing are all some of my favorite things to do. 

Thank you so much for looking at my profile I hope you enjoyed it.
