I Wanted To Learn How To Skate

My Mother Stopped Working When She Had My Brother. She Was A Full Time Mom Until I Started Getting Heavily Into Ice Skating Lessons, And It Got To The Point Where They Really Needed My Mom To Earn An Income.

In Group Lesson Number Six I Think We Learned How To Turn Backwards And Then Just Kind Of Wiggle. That Wasn't Really Skating Backward, But I Guess I Was Going In The Right Direction.

I Wanted To Learn How To Skate Backwards And They Wouldn't Help Me And They Went Off And Left Me On My Own.

It's Different Today Than It Was Then. In Those Days We Were Strictly Amateurs. If I Had Wanted To Stay In For The '80 Olympics, My Parents Couldn't Have Afforded It.

If You Are A Complete Perfectionist, Then The Truth Is That This Ice Skating Business Will Drive You A Little Crazy!
