Well after that disaterous fitness week . We headed up to Pinetop , which is about two hours away from Flagstaff. We stayed there for about a week and trained two times a day. Those were one of the most intense trainings of my life, like every morning I dreaded getting out of bed because my body was in pain plus on top of that for some reason when things get hard you start missing your family even more. Because I was new to the team I didnt want to show that I was struggling emotionally wise, so almost every night we were up there I would use my shower time as my break down moments, that way no one could really tell that I was crying. I guess it was just really difficult for me to be in a different environment, but every night I would call them and I would also talk to my coach from High School and he would help me stay focus and to just enjoy my time playing the sport that I love.
Finally the week of hell was done and over with. We got back to Flagstaff and now it was time to move in to the dorms. This was another hard time for me because while everyone else's parents came up to help them move in, I once again was family-less. So that day seeing everyones family just reminded me of my own family and once again I broke down, but this time in front of everyone. At first I felt stupid but all my teammates parents were very nice and helped comfort me.

Well, I bet everyone who came here from somewhere else can relate in some way to how you feel.I mean, when things get hard you can't help but look back at how great thing were back home. It's like reminiscing about how Christmas used to be when you were a kid, before you (and everyone else) got old. Great to see that you worked through it.
Mia just hang in there it is ok to cry when you miss someone. If you need that family connection you could spend a couple hours with the boys fighting, that might take some of the home sickness away for a little bit.
Aww I'm sorry. You'll be a stronger person in the end, and probably already are in some sort of way. I bet you're even better in Soccer that you'd ever thought you could be because you pushed yourself!!!! WAY to go!! I can't imagine your training sessions. I just hit the gym today after sitting on my ass for over three months, and it hurt. What's worse is when you see that all your muscles that you worked so hard for at one time are gone :(
So keep it up!! And as far as the family is concerned...just know that they're probably thinking about you as much as you're thinking about them.Good families do :)
