wi11 <br /> Dear Council Members, <br /> I am writing to share my support for the Kona Aerials Gymnastics Club special use permit <br /> #21-000227. As a sophomore in high school, I was a competitive gymnast for Kona Aerials for <br /> seven years, and it was the highlight of my childhood. <br /> During my time at Kona Aerials, I made some of my best friends and had the opportunity to <br /> travel to many fun and educational places such as California, Utat, Denver, and Las Vegas for <br /> competitions. These experiences taught me many things, such as how to be confident and <br /> brave and compete in front of large crowds. Before joining Kona Aerials, I used to be very shy <br /> and timid, but my time as a gymnast helped me to become more confident and outgoing. <br /> In addition to gaining confidence, I also learned discipline, commitment, and the value of hard <br /> work. Gymnastics is a sport that requires a great deal of dedication and practice, and these <br /> skills have translated into other areas of my life, including my academic studies. I have also <br /> learned how to work with different types of people and ages, and how to take correction from <br /> adults, which has helped me to be a better student in school. <br /> I believe that Kona Aerials Gymnastics Club should be granted the Special Use Permit. This <br /> program has been an important part of my life, and I know it has positively impacted the lives of <br /> many other people in our community too. The opportunity to learn gymnastics, build important <br /> life skills and make lifelong connections is something that every child and teenager in Kona <br /> should have. <br /> Thank you for your time. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Hailey Barker <br /> )tj �, <br />
