I just love the gym camp I attended. Though it was a much more toned down version compared to the past when it was flooded with violence. I practically know only less than half the juniors and most probably in a few years they will all no longer know me. Luckily there are still the sec 4's and above like yixiang who know me and one pesky sec 3 hou zheng.. Haha..
Looking at my juniors jump around really makes me feel that I'm old. I no longer have the guts and strength to try daring stunts and I'm now pretty much limited to the safer somersaults and twists. Though this isn't exactly a feeling I will like to relish, I'm still glad my juniors are doing well. Sometimes going back isn't so much taking the chance to jump on the trampoline or chit chat with my juniors. It's more of seeing myself in the image of my juniors. The stunts they do, the childish things they laugh at, the trivial matters they are preoccupied over or the small things they complain about. No matter how much others think that these are "Stupid", I don't think so. Afterall, I've been through this too. I was once that childish, impulsive and violent Dixon and just as I've grown, I believe my juniors will also bloom with time into young adults that far surpass me. For now, there is no point in forcing them to grow for they will only end up missing a precious piece of memory in their life.
We must never be afraid that our juniors surpass our achievements. If we do, the generations to come will only deteriorate and never improve. That's why I always try to give them advice if they encounter problems. I want them to fly higher than I have and make my achievements seem miniscule. So reach for the skies my juniors and I will always be proud of you!
