I am a level 6 gymnast hoping to make it at least to level 8 or 9 so that I can live my dream of competing in college gymnastics at Ohio State University (my dream college). I am already about to be a sophomore in high school and im only in level 6. All I want to do is train so I can make it but in reality I started really late for a gymnast. I have come a long way from that chubby 10 year old that walked into the gym for the first time and couldn't even do a cartwheel. I've only been in gymnastics for 5 years, 3 of which were on an actual team. Most gymnasts my age would be level 8, 9, or 10 by now and I'm just a level 6. A gymnast pushes herself to the max every single day for 4 to 8 hours a day at the gym and then goes home and works some more. That kind of effort takes a lot out of you mentally and physically. I go to the gym 4 hours Monday through Friday, go home and help take care of 2 little sisters while dealing with another little sister's teenage attitude, go back to the gym to coach little kids in gymnastics in order to help my mom out financially, and then go home to clean up and help get my little sisters to bed. I also weightlift on Thursdays. Only then do I allow myself to think about me. Even though I do this on a daily basis I make myself feel guilty for wanting to take a day or 2 off of practice. I don't know why I do this but I feel like I letting myself, my mom, my dad, my coaches, and my teammates down if I miss even 1 day of practice. My mom tells me that I deserve a mental break but my mind keeps telling me that I'm letting everyone down by not going. I don't know what I should do, anybody got any ideas? ;P
