I reminded the girls yesterday, but wanted to let you guys know what I said. There is a new concept to competing this year. This year is not about the scores or winning (the scores are just the cherries on top). This year is about developing the skills. This year is about learning how competition can develop your character.

It’s that time of year to verbally express the things we are grateful for. This month, I want to say thank you to you parents. Thank you for your continued support, especially during the not so perfect times.

This summer, I have been taught so much from the team girls I have worked with. The main lesson I have learned from them is the parable of the rubber band.

Isn’t construction fun?! Thank you for all your patience with it. I know it’s a pain. I’m done with it. Haha! But once again there is a fun life lesson to learn. We can’t run away from the hard times. Just as with construction, there are ups and downs of life.

It’s Summer! It’s time to travel & visit new places. I love traveling! I especially love traveling internationally. It is so fun to learn the history of the other countries & see their beauties. I have a deep love for other countries but I am always grateful to come home.
