I am Shannon... you'll never meet another person like me. end of story
Colleges ask me to write why i'm different from the average teenager... the average robot who goes to school and gets good grades, participates in after school activites and extra curriculars, has a waitress job and was recently promoted to cashier or something. how am i different from that? well... i'll tell you. from the very start of my life i was with God. sure lots of people are like that but i havent gotten to where im different yet...
I chose the sport of gymnastics at age 6. from then on i had been in love with the sport. my first year of competing i made the state championships and placed top 5 on the beam with a 9.375 and it was the most important day of my life up till then (dudes... i was 10 gimme a break). I moved on to another gym as i got older and wanted to improve. in only 8 months i was turned from mediocre to the All around state champion of california in 2004 (thats big). you say "sure alot of kids achieve stuff in sports... this isnt that impressive" while that may be true i'm not done yet.
i gave up a social life. i gave up parties. i gave up taking the easy way. i gave up dances and school games. i gave up hanging out with friends for what i loved. i will forever turn away drinking and smoking because it is a bad influence to my girls to this day i still do. i am a coach of the sport now. my girls are one of the most important things ive ever come across in my life time. i would much rather be at the gym with my girls than at a party. i would rather be doing something good for them than handling dollars and cents and taking orders. my job is much more than a job. these girls are not objects, they are living beings, gymnasts, and champions and i am not just a coach. I am their Older sister, their friend, their DJ for floor music, choreographer, hair stylist, leotard and warm up designer, psychologist, shoulder to cry on, punching bag, and all that wraps up into me being their coach.
so consider this colleges: when you ask me how i am different from other teenagers. it is not my grades, my club involvement, school spirit, or any of that robotically similar qualities of other teens that makes me stand out. the way i am different is simple:
i have 50 little sisters. And i am proud of them.
