STANFORD, Calif. - Test your knowledge of the Stanford women's gymnastics team by guessing who wrote the following poem:
I am a competitor and I am driven.
I wonder what if.
I hear the clock ticking.
I see the future as a gift.
I want to make a difference.
I am a competitor and I am driven.
I pretend I can snap and whistle.
I feel the strength of 14 other girls around me.
I touch the ground firmly beneath my feet.
I worry I will disappoint others.
I cry when I feel helpless.
I am a competitor and I am driven.
I understand that life is short and nothing is forever.
I say I will never stop dreaming.
I dream of satisfying all.
I try to tread water.
I hope I can pay my family back for all they've sacrificed.
I am a competitor and I am driven.
The author of this poem will be revealed Monday.
