Ashley's blog - part 6 Bad Days Happen

Here we are at the end of October, and it has been a long journey so far!  I have learned so many new things and have discovered just what I am capable of if I put the effort in.  TriCity has been an amazing place to learn and grow.

Week 6 was a hard week though.  It was a “bad day”.  I don’t usually believe in actual bad days, but this Wednesday was one of those days for me in aerial.  I was tired to start which made for a mindset that wasn’t the greatest.  Every attempt at my basic climb was tangled and awkward.  Foot locks seemed impossible.  Trying to learn my hip keys and split roll-ups, ended with me on my butt on the mat.

I was feeling very disheartened and frustrated by the end of class, but my classmates and Kristen, my instructor kept me focused and were very supportive.  Although I left feeling like this was a “really bad day” I know that tomorrow is another day and next week is another class.  Bad days happen, but as long as you keep moving forward the sun will rise again.
