Key to Success: "The key to Vivienne's success both in school and in gymnastics is that even though she is not always confident at the beginning of any new topic or task, she stays focused and determined to make what at first seemed difficult to her, become easy," Higgins Elementary School teacher Lynne Hendricks said. "Her hard work has definitely paid off, she is a great student. Congratulations to Vivienne for finding her passion at such an early age."
