That was the initial reason posted..which was fine. Ok, her mom's going to Cali to teach power tumbling, she's obviously pretty skilled at that, they're doing a Rio Exhibition in a few years, might as well prep now. Maybe that's where the major facility is for power tumbling, I know the elite ones tend to be scattered.
The whole part about her 'education' being a major factor just threw me off, considering the education she's getting could be done anywhere.
Side thought: In a weird way- I don't know that it's about trying to hand-pick a ring at all. I think it's about trying to hand-pick an experience, which is common of kids in the 'millennial' generation. Fitting in is so psychologically important it's practically crippling, and many rate their ability to find meaning/enjoying what they're doing as the UTMOST priority. They're not interested so much in doing what's expected or typical, they have lofty ideals about 'unique' and 'special' situations/lives which are all-too-often unattainable. The 'You-can-make-it-happen-if-you-believe-and-try' mentality is a lovely pep talk, but the practical reality leaves a lot to be desired and many miserable because they're not getting what they expect to happen. "Special Snowflake" isn't just in relation to themselves as people, but in to the situations/experiences they expect to encounter. The difference is that compared to most parents, there is someone capable of footing the bill. I'm not saying it's the case all the way around, but it explains the phenomenon pretty well.
