Besides her love for gymnastics she enjoys the outdoors and natural sciences.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I first discovered my passion for the sport when I was in Grade 4. I noticed that after school they (gymnasts) would have practices outside because the hall wasn&#8217;t available at the time. So my friends and I would stay and watch the gymnasts. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Later, I thought this looks cool and wished I could join and since I asked my mother I&#8217;ve been learning gymnastics.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nshimiyimana&#8217;s favourite activity in gymnastics is floor work and the different movement&#8217;s involved. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said she&#8217;s still trying to find the perfect balance between training and school work. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Since I&#8217;m in the provincial team it can be difficult to concentrate at school at times,&#8221; added Nshimiyimana. &#8220;After school I hit the gym and train on Mondays, Tuesdays and Saturdays, when I get two hours&#8217; practice and then once I&#8217;m home I&#8217;ll get some snacks and start my homework.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nshimiyimana officially heard of her selection to the WP squad on Saturday 4 October. She said she was thrilled and looks forward to competing against the nation&#8217;s best athletes in her Western Province colours. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;&#8221;I&#8217;m very proud to take part in WP competitions because at that stage one know one has to pull one&#8217;s socks up, and it inspires me to achieve more.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far Nshimiyimana has one gold, five silver and six bronze medals.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She encouraged fellow learners and the youth always to aspire to conquer their dreams.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She has further sage advice: &#8220;Never give up, achieve the goals you want to and do not listen to the people who doubt you.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CAPE TOWN-A Grade 8 learner from Grassy Park will showcase her skills at
