Palarong Pambansa 2012: Inspiring Story from Leyte Gymnast Julie Anne Borneo
This is my first time to be at the Palarong Pambansa and on the first night Special Education Philippines arrived at Dagupan I heard of a story that inspired me. Since one of my purpose to go to the Palaro2012 is to look for inspiring stories from our own Palarong Pambansa players, I kept on thinking if I will ever have a chance to meet these wonderful persons and hear from their own lips the stories that brought them to the Palarong Pambansa 2012.
The inspiring story I’ve heard is how a young gymnast earned her way to be her city’s representative to be part of the country’s national athletes. These gymnasts practice every day with their coach who trains them every afternoon after he comes from his day job. However, this coach do not have the usual work most coaches do. Do you want to know more about them?

The day I learned that I am finally going to interview this little girl is the same way I went to the Marcela beach. As I looked at the horizon I kept on thinking what will I ask her? I dont want it to be too long although I really want to know her full story but I dont want her to be distracted from her game. I don’t want it to be too short and miss an opportunity.
After swimming and watching the Philippine baseball team play, the ball hitting the bat struck an idea in my head. The horizon signifies the future. The ball striking the bat is the present. And the past which is a dream to be an athlete that never became a reality. Yes, my questions will revolve on three things: past, present and future.
Past: Paano ka naman nahilig or napasok ang sports na gymnastics?
(What made you like or enter gymnastics as a sport?)
Watch out tomorrow for Special Education Philippines’ questions about Leyte’s beloved gymnast Julie Ann’s present and future.

Salamat po. Frustrated writer po talaga ako. Feature editor po kasi ako ng school paper ko dati at yung lang po ang training ko as a writer.

she’s really young and she started young too. she sounds very young too, hopefully she’ll reach far.
will be waiting for more, it’s always nice to read some inspiring stories…
Athletes who are passionate and committed are very admirable and inspiring.
I did not know the Palaro had gymnastics competition…nice! I hope this girl reaches Olympic level.
we have many young and talented athletes just waiting to be honed such they can compete internationally.
wow. this is very inspiring. and on a very young age, she’s very talented na talaga.. hope she achieved a lot.
When I was young, I wanted to be a gymnast, too. I fancy watching the tv during olympics and would practice my cartwheels on my own. I never really got to be a gymnast and haven’t even did a single day of training for it except in our own lawn. Julie Ann is really fortunate that she is able to live her dream. I wish her the best of luck!
