[M&M Guy]

Man, (no pun intended...) are you young. But, that's the way to get started. I didn't get into officiating until I was over 30, and looking back I wish I had started earlier.

Keeping a journal is a great idea - it'll keep you focused on what to improve on as the season(s) progress. And, don't ever get too discouraged to just quit. Maybe you'll get to a certain level, and just stay there even though you think you're good enough to move up. But, don't forget to enjoy where you are.
