  Carlee Bears Writing 105 Assignment 3 Text 2   Every week new people come into the gym I grew up in with the intention of becoming a better athlete. Their goal is to strive for perfection within their sport and improve athletically. If these new athletes stay in the gym for enough time they may realize the community, family, and life altering experience they may find within it. When I was younger, I aimlessly joined a competitive cheer gym following in my sister's footsteps. I did not grasp how dramatically this simple decision would change my life.
