What Would You Do?

We live in an age in which we are told by family, friends and strangers that if our children do not want to participate in a particular sporting activity, we should not force them.  In the general scheme of things, this is good advice. 

Therefore, I have a question for you.  What would you do if your child, who had happily put in the required practices and was really excited about a particular sport, suddenly announced that he/she did not want to do it?
Would you shrug your shoulders and say, “okay?”  Would you ask him/her “why not” and take it from there, or would you say, “Honey, you will be doing it, and that’s that? 
What would you do in a situation like this?

The is a country faced with many troubles. Citizens and visitors alike are being killed, yet travellers ignore these government-issued advisories and go headlong into the country.  In December 2018, the government here declared a state of emergency for specific places in the country. And earlier this year, they extended this emergency by six months. In January 2019, the Prime Minister and his cabinet quit.

Andorra – A Shared Country

Andorra is sandwiched between France and Spain, and it is co-governed by the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell, who is in Spain.  Although Andorra has accommodations for a few helicopters, there are no airports here.  In fact, its closest airports are in France and Spain.  Therefore, those desiring to visit this country must travel through France or Spain and then travel by land, to get here. Perhaps due to sharing governmental powers, this country also shares the postal system.  France’s post boxes in this country are yellow, while Spain’s are red.
