FROM A MOMENT ANDA STEPS UP ONTO THE BALANCE BEAM, HER TEACHERS KNOW SHE'S A NATURAL. BUT EVEN A NATURAL HAS TO TRAIN TO BECOME A GREAT GYMNAST, AND ANDA HAS A LOT OF CATCHING UP TO DO.

ANDA WORKS HARD TO TURN HERSELF FROM A BUNDLE OF ENERGY INTO A TOP-NOTCH GYMNAST. BUT JUST AS SHE'S READY TO COMPETE, HER CAREER IS CUT SHORT: HER PARENTS CAN'T AFFORD ANY MORE LESSONS.

ANDA'S GOT ONE CHANCE LEFT--A SCHOLARSHIP THAT COULD MAKE ALL HER DREAMS COME TRUE. HER TEACHERS THINK SHE'S NOT READY. BUT ANDA KNOWS SHE IS. IF SHE WINS THIS MEET, SHE'LL BE A CHAMPION. AND SHE'S GIVING IT ALL SHE'S GOT!
