do you think it will be fun for me? i am 13 and level 4 have 5 skills but can't move up because i haven't compeated? will i be with some girls my age? i leave july 6th to head for camp with him
Bela seems like a great guy - fun, eccentric, and all that. But some girls don't make it with him because they fail to realize the cardinal rule: Bela is in charge, Bela says what to do, Bela's way is the only way. If you can adapt to that, you'll probably get on really well with the man. I mean, come on - any man who surrounds himself with all those animals can't be all that bad.
exactly. because BEATING a gymnast is the right way to maintain your authority, huh? yeah, he's not exactly a great guy... or, he wasn't. who knows, maybe he's changed..
Ok, did you just say that you were a Karolyi gymnast, but yet you don't remember training for this camp? Um, sweetie, that's cause you've never been to camp or a Karolyi gymnast! DUH! The "camp" would have been at your gym, and you would know that if you really were one of their gymnasts.
i went there but i was too young to remember all the preparation for going to the camp... i was a karolyi gymnast so i think it was a given for me to go.... that camp is something that i VIVIDLY remember from childhood...don't recall it being difficult, but do remember accomplishing and acquiring a magnitiude of new skills.
LOL, Alicia so funny. "I was like, what is this place??"
I had no idea Bela had so many exotic pets! If I were there, I wouldn't be able to focus on training. I'd be too excited about the animals. They are beautiful.
I used to love to hear bela say "you can do it" but now I love "it's hot like hell" :)
