Other My family doesn't believe me?
Well, a competition is coming up and I'm going to compete. Despite my confidence issues, I've been trying my best in training and I'm pretty sure I can win... But this will be my first competition in another city and that makes me a little nervous, but not as much as my family (mother and grandmother), who really don't want me to go. When we talk about the competition, they tell me to give up if it's too hard or if I'm tired, saying that they need to see the level of the competition and that I'm not an athlete to compete... It really makes me wonder: are they right? Or do they just not believe in my potential? (I'm 21 years old)
