Which words in the excerpt have positive connotations? excerpt from Fierce
by Aly Raisman
Watching TV with my mom was our special time together and I cherished it. Raising four young children didn't leave a lot of time for kicking
back, but whenever she wasn't too busy, we would sit down on the couch and pick out a tape to watch.
Our choice usually involved our favorite sport-you guessed it: gymnastics. Gymnastics wasn't broadcast as often as the endless stream of
football and basketball games, but on the rare occasions gymnastics competitions were televised, we made sure to tape them. I would watch
those tapes over and over until I knew all the routines by heart.
My mom would eventually get tired of yet another screening of a US Championships or an invitational, but I couldn't get enough. When!
wasn't doing homework or at gymnastics practice. I was parked in front of the TV watching one of those tapes.
One day I want to be just like them. I thought enchanted by the figures flying across the screen. I had already decided that I would be a
gymnast when I grew up. Well, either that or a pop star, like Britney Spears, my favorite singer. That sounded good, too.
