When I was 4 years old my parents informed me that I would start figure skating, So they bought me a pair of pink plastic skates at Canadian Tire and I remember stepping onto the ice for the first time just enjoying every moment of it!!!! I had really awesome helpers who taught me how to skate, after months I could skate without holding someone's hands I could chase a bean bag someone through and I could do swizzles and do a 2 foot hop. My grandpa and grandma lived on the lake before so I got extra time to skate there also. I remember my ice show I was a sailor and the theme was "Night at the Movies I won "Most Improved snowplow sam" I was amazed, and here I am today this year will be my 10th skating. It's been amazing/but there has been some downs.
