Here's my third and final entry (as stated by the rules):

"Take one hundred and twenty-seven," an off screen voice states. The presumable owner of that voice steps in front of the camera, in a typical girls room. The athletic looking female, wearing a purple tracksuit, gives herself a quick, serious, and quiet, "You can do this." She looks up and smiles. She says, "Hello, my name is Christy. I consider myself an athlete, and I expect nothing but the best from myself. That's the attitude you need to be the best. I can say how good of an athlete I am all I want, but I need to demonstrate that in order for you to believe my words." The young woman walks toward the wall and gets ready to do a flip of some sort. The footage is clearly edited as her position changes slightly, as well as the lighting in the room. The young woman executes a perfect flip and landing, looking pleased with her performance with a slight smile. Christy walks back up to the camera. The footage is clearly edited, again, as the video is pieced together. She says, "My main incentive for auditioning for your program is to prove to my father that a girl is capable of being an athlete. You might have noticed the lack of trophies and medals in my room. The reason behind that is not that I'm not able to attain them due to my own capabilities, but from my father restricting me from competing. I hope that my father is able to see that I am capable, and that I am passionate about athletics." Christy bows her head and says, "Thank you for the possibility of that opportunity."
