Little Maria

Little Maria couldn’t wait to finish gymnastics today. All Maria could think about was the smell of last July 4th, as she was sweating and practicing new techniques. Gymnastics was every Monday and Thursday at 6 (p.m.), except next week when it would be closed for the holiday. This year the 4th of July fell on a Sunday, even still, Maria’s lessons would be postponed for an entire week after, which today, didn’t seem to matter to her in the slightest.
