gymnastics


Question Posted Tuesday January 22 2008, 6:59 pm

i'm 16/f. my passion is gymnastics..the thing is i've never really done well in it. i love watching it and learning more about it. i did it for a year in 8th grade but then when high school started i was preoccupied. now i'm in 11th grade and i feel that i need to fulfill my dream before it's too late. but i also feel that i'm too old to be able to accomplish very much, and that it would be embarassing being with such young kids. i was also thinking about maybe doing private lessons. if anyone would have any insight or advice it would really be appreciated! thanks!

The most important thing I've learned in life is that it's never too late to accomplish anything. Look at Michelle Trachtenberg in Ice Princess. I mean, I know it's just a movie, but movies are created to send messages to the viewers. Your not too old at all to fulfill your dream. I'm 15 almost 16 and I want to learn how to play the violin. So I decided I'm going to take classes at school in the summer. And mind you, it does bother me that everyone around me has been playing some instrument for a long time but whatever, because I'm finally getting a shot and it doesn't matter if it's a second or third shot. As long as your cabable of getting another chance. Just be the best you can be.


If you want something, go get it. Period.

To be completely honest its too late if you want to do any serious gymnastics. If you just want to get better and have fun, call your local gymnastics gym, most likly all classes are in full swing by now, but there is probably a spot or so open if you dont mind being by yourself. If I was in your situation I would get a group of my friends to join a class together so its not werid that your the oldest one. You probably would have to sign up for summer classes. (not summer camp)
As for private lessions, call the gym they can probably arrange something in a few months but it will be VERY expensive.

I hope I was able to help <3
