Wow...You've going through quite a "bump" in the road! I envy your positive attitude (even though it took some time to develop)! I realize that it is very easy to feel sorry for yourself, (I must admit that I'm guilty of that) but its really great that you have such a positive attitude! It sounds like you have a lot of support from your family and coaches. I hope your arm heals quickly and I hope that you can get back to gymnastics soon! Hey Michele!

How did you know that the key question for you was "am I happy?" And how did you know whether you were happy? (I know this sounds like a silly question, but a lot of people--definitely me when I was in high school--could not have said whether they were happy or not, especially when they are doing something they always enjoyed.) I guess I'm wondering how you stopped yourself from lying to yourself. It's poignant that you had to make a decision like this so early in your life. I know it's necessary when you're a gymnast, but I like to think that even as young adults, we have a whole world of opportunity open to us.

I really enjoyed reading your post, even though I've never paticipated in gymnastics. I think that you expressed your ideas and feelings clearly. I agree with your conclusion that sometimes things just don't turn out the way that you plan on and that's okay! I definately think that in the last few years, a lot of my plans have changed. I'm happy that you have found something that makes you happy! Hey! I really enjoyed reading your post, even though I’ve never paticipated in gymnastics.

Obviously you were very mixed feelings when you switched back to your old gym. But I think in the end you will not regret the decision of doing what you wanted. Many people are involved in gymnastics at such a young age but when they start losing interests, many times, the parents get involved in their decisions to continue. Trampoline will never match up to artistic gymnastics but it's good that you enjoy it. Doing what you want to do is always the best choice because life is short......be crazy This post is very meaningful to you, you can almost sense your emotions.
