My First Time to Skate

By the time i was six ive had a year of training and my first competition was one of my fav memories even if I fell

I tried my best and made second place I was competeing with high levled ladies this was a challenged but if you mess up that means your tring hard

School

School for me was a tough challenge cause I did'nt go to a public school till middle school when I was at the Ice Castle I had private tutors so I could keep up on skating and school at the same time.
