kf115+Difficult+Choices

A couple of years ago I was asked to try out for the training team at the gym I take gymnastics at. The owner of the gym said "you don't have to join the training team because you are good enough to be on one of the competition teams". I had to decide whether I wanted to join the JOGA gymnastic team or USAG gymnastic team. JOGA only competes in New Jersey, only practices five hours a week at the gym, and normally competes in the gym. USAG competes all around the United States, practices 16 hours a week, and never competes in the gym.

There were many things to consider including whether I had the amount of time and dedication the USAG team would take. My mom and I talked about it‍, ‍but she left the decision to me. She told me that she wanted me to do what made me happy as long as I could put school first. It was a difficult choice to make.

Finally my mom asked, "Kennedy, would you like to join the JOGA or USAG team?"

I said, " can i go on the USAG team mom?"

"Yes you may‍‍ Kennedy,"said my mom."The day I joined USAG I knew it was for me. Im glad I went to USAG and not JOGA beause I love my team or as I call my family and I dont know how I would live with out them. When i'm out for a day I miss them way too much I can't imagine a live time without them. This was an extremely hard dcision, but i'm so glad I choose what I choose I can't imagine it being any other way.
