My DD started gymnastics at the age of 4. At 4 1/2 she came to me and said, "Mom, me and Rachael are going to open a gym someday. I will be the coach and Rachael will run the front office because she says she isn't that good at the gymnsatics stuff."
At 6 DD participated in a clinic at Stanford University. When we walked in to the gym DD grabbed my arm and said, "Mom, I am SO going to Stanford!!!"
Now at 8 1/2 she will be competing Level 5 this Fall. Her coach has discussed fast-tracking her through Level 6 and then training Level 7 for a full year to compete in the Spring of 2010. She still talks about Stanford at least once a week and hopes to be eligible to compete on their team.
DH and I are hoping for a scholarship or a lottery win to help her achieve her dream, but we don't discuss that with her.
Good luck to all of the hard-working kids in achieveing their goals!!
