Ever since the very first time I set foot on the ice at the age of 10, I fell in love with figure skating. Whenever I am on the ice I feel like I am where I am supposed to be, it is my home. My favorite part of figure skating is the immense amount of dedication, determination, and hard work it takes to achieve goals and competing. It has taught me so many life lessons and about who I am and want to be. One of the most beneficial lessons I have learned is to never give up. There are many times (especially in skating) where I fall down, but I have learned to always get up and try again and I love the challenge of always being able to do better. Sonja Henie once said, "It's a sense of power, of command over distance and gravity, and an illusion of no longer having to move because movement is carrying you."
This is a video of me skating. It is a little bit outdated, but still shows me doing what I love! :)
Another one of my favorite things is the Bible verse Proverbs 3:5-6. It truly represents my life this past year and, especially, this past summer. This verse has helped me get through many tough times and has helped lead me to where I am today. When I am having a tough day or need some inspiration I always come back to this.
