Starving to be elite

Today I walked into my living room and my little sister exclaims Shawn Johnson put on some pounds. I asked her what she was talking about and she showed me a picture. Shawn looked no different than she did in the Olympics she look muscular and strong the only difference is that she is she was standing next to Jewel who has to have a negative 1 waist. Body weight is a major issue around athletic females, the pressure of staying fit and toned is a hard thing to endure. I have seen girls first hand purposely not eat or throwing up what they eat to stay in shape for their sports. The main female sport that may lead to a eating disorder is gymnastics. I just feel bad for the girls who put themselves in a environment that stresses over weight.

Incentives leading to STRESS!!

For the past four days I have not been going to bed until around 1 o-clock in the morning. School work, volleyball and stress have kept me from sleeping. I know it is a proven fact that kids work better in school when the get a longer period of sleep. But there is no way I can get my life back to the complete order it used to be and still get sleep. Especially in AIS I have let my constant stress and sleepless nights get to me. I can't seem to finish a any of my assignments on time and I know that if I don't step it up there will be a lot of things I will have to give up on. I have been lead by incentives my entire life, I love having a challenge but lately the Incentives have been getting larger. One incentive that has truly taken over my life is the incentive of college. The school of my dreams is a tough school to get into because of its academic prowess. The only problem is my GPA is to low currently to even get me on the waiting list. I don't want to give up any thing to help me achieve this goal of higher education but maybe it's time to slow down a little.
