I never realized how much of a struggle it is to juggle my school life and my riding life. Now being a Senior in High School, I get more time to ride, but I also have harder classes which means more homework and study time. I have always had good grades and have turned in assignments before the deadline. If I didn't, I would not be competing. My parents made it perfectly clear that if my grades started slipping because of my riding, I could say goodbye to horse shows. When Champ Show came around last year, I had to complete all of my school assignments before hand and finish all future homework so I would not have to catch up after the horse show. Since Champ Show is coming up, I am already trying to get ahead of most of my classes so my parents don't nag on me the week before. I am just grateful that my school is very flexible with my competitive riding. But I have also come to realize that I want to get an education and go to a University so I can pursue my dream job and continue to ride. Riding will always be part of my life, even if I have to take a break from it, I know I will always go back to it.
