I'm 17 and only at level 7. I could go on to college in 2018 like I would normally do... Or I could do a gap year and try to be a level 10 before college, which is extremely unlikely. It would mean that I would have to compete both level 8 and 9 next year, and I'm barely ready to compete 7 now. I really want to go on to college next year, but my mom thinks that I should try to do level 10. I don't think she really gets how hard that would be to do. It would take a lot of practice hours, for one thing. That would be incredibly hard because we actually live about two hours away from my gym. I just don't know if I'm willing to put in the time, money, and effort needed to do level 10. We keep going back and forth about what I'm going to do. She thinks I'll regret not trying for level 10. I really need some advice. Maybe someone has been in a similar situation?
