“Katie McKeever was the new girl in third grade. Katie McKeever was perfect. She didn’t walk, she did back handsprings. She received standing ovation after ovation not only from her peers but from her teachers, some of whom skipped their lunch breaks just to watch her on the balance beam. It was at that moment I knew I had to be a gymnast. Unfortunately, a gymnast I was not. I took one fall off the balance beam and had to be rushed to the nurse’s office.”

— from 'The Girl Who Wanted To Be Someone Else’

The Girl Who Wanted To Be Somebody Else was written by Jessica Laurel Kane; music by Jerome Rossen at Freshmade Music.
