Skating Has Given Me So Much That

I Don't Really Remember A Time Younger Than 5 Years Old That I Didn't Have Skates On Because All I Can Remember Is Every Day, Tying Up My Skates And A Big Smile On My Face, Excited To Go On The Ice.

Skating Is In My Heart, Not My Head

At 13, I Was Fearless. I Looked At Everything So Positive. When You're Older And Been Through It All, You Know How Bad It Can Get. There Is A Fear Of Failing.

Sometimes My Body Is Aching, But I Always Think, 'why Am I In This? Why Do I Love It So Much?' That's What Makes Me Persevere, That's What Makes Me Keep On Going.

Skating Takes Up 70 Percent Of My Time, School About 25 Percent. Having Fun And Talking To My Friends, 5 Percent. It's Hard. I Envy Other Kids A Lot Of Things, But I Get A Guilt Trip When I'm Not Training.
