Boast

Though I need no introduction, my name is Zarik
I have lived in the city of New Orleans all my life
Growing up in mid-city was the most memorable experience of my child hood
My ancestors arrived from Austria, Africa, and America
I have beaten the greatest of Gymnasts and acro-tumblers across the region
My favorite was the River-boat Classic where I was the only gymnast who arrived from my level
Everyone watched me in excitement, for I was the eldest and most excellent gymnast there
The best trophies I have achieved are from winning the High School State Championship twice
I am on my way to winning the High School State Championship for the third time
There is no gymnast that can defeat me
If I could I would challenge every gymnast there is
Sadly I am getting old-age and I will soon be forced to quit
I am not too old, for I will be obtaining opening to the Olympic team next year
I will then go against the greatest gymnasts in the world
I have done much in my fifteen years
I have a great family who support me in all I do
My sister’s name is Zoe
She can dance more gracefully than any ballerina in New Orleans
She often allows me to dance alongside her on stage
We get the greatest applause of all the performers
