It's finally happened: I've been hooping for a year now! And to commemorate it I made a video to the first song that I ever made a video to. I bought my first hoop September 26, 2013 and I'm still as passionate with it, if not more, than I was when I first started. I have never been this passionate about something, or as good at anything, as I am with hooping. As I have said in earlier posts, hooping has helped me with so much: My confidence, my depression, my eating disorder, stress, coming out of my shell and so much more. I have met so many amazing people through the hooping community and I found somewhere where I feel like I belong. I have also gained so many opportunities like teaching and sharing my passion with others and performing at charity events. It's weird to think about how many people have never known me as Hooper Ericka, or the Hula Hoop Girl. I would just like to thank everyone who has supported me and who continue to support me! I hope one day that I can turn this passion into something that can support me for the rest of my life. I can't wait to see how much I progress in the next year and the years to come. Again, thank you everyone for your love and support! It means the world to me!
