Yes, Lina, balancing the needs of a young family and continuing to strive to achieve your own personal dreams and goals does make it more challenging, but not impossible. I am married, but do not have any children as yet by choice, but I do understand.

Remember there is no time limit on this. Your family is of course priority, but don't think for a minute you have to give up on your dreams just because you're raising children. If you want it bad enough, you will find a way that will allow both to coexist in your life.

BTW, although gymnastic skills are not mandatory according to NPC, the girls with prior gymnastic skills to place higher. However, I have also seen girls do no tumbling, yet their display of strength and flexibility along with perfect execution of the 6 mandatory skills have placed very high. Their physique was to be that much more exceptional, though, so that where they may score low in the routine round, their scores in the 2 physique rounds pull them up.

Have faith in yourself and stay positive.

Butterfly~coming from such a beautiful woman yourself, I take that as quite the compliment You are absolutely stunning.
