I know (for most gyms) the 2014-2015 tryout process has already begun. But i have yet to decide what to do. This past season I cheered at my dream gym. We had an amazing season and even went to the Summit. But this gym is too expensive and too far away for my family to handle, plus with my older sister going off to college next year, it will definitely be out of budget. Now I know what you're thinking: Just fundraise! But only if it were that easy. We've never had good experiences with fundraising, no matter how much we try. Plus, its just too far. As much as I want to hope that things will work out that I can cheer there again, I highly doubt it. My local friends have all flocked to a new gym that opened up this year, but I just can't imagine leaving this gym and not being with them. I have considered just taking the year off and getting my tumbling up (can stunt level 5, can't tumble level 3...). But I honestly don't know what to do. I would do anything to cheer at my dream gym again, but I can't think of any possible way to convince my parents (who are literally refusing to talk with me about it...). Any ideas of what I should do? I can't imagine not competing, but at the same time I don't want to do it unless its with my teammates... they're family....
