The progresses I have been made : 3 Jump Rope

In the beginning of the first year of elementary school, I couldn't jump rope at all.
In gymnastic class most of student looked like to be able to jump rope smoothly, but whenever I try the rope I miss at the very first jump.

In the first summer vacation, students got a homework of jumping rope 100 times every day.
I was in despair, thinking that 100 times meant that I should be able to jump 100 times consecutively. I didn't have the idea that I can miss 100 times every day if I can't jump rope at all.

My parents and brothers tried to help but soon gave up seeing my slum-bung jumping rope like a gorilla (one of my brother described my jumping rope in this way). It just looked like the picture below.

My mother and my brothers told to how to do, and I tried to imitate them, but as I was always missing the point, my brothers gave up one after another. It's not until I got hang of it that I noticed that those who can jump rope well turn their wrists but not their arms like below.

After got the hung of it, I come to love jumping rope. At the end of the vacation, I had become able to jump rope 420 times consecutively.

In the end of the first year, I even learned double under, which few first graders were capable of.

Through this experience, I've become confident that I'm likely to able to do if I repeatedly practice hundreds and thousands of times.
