Figure-four

When I was young, I fell in love with competitive figure skating. The ice was my second home, and every minute I spent on it was pure bliss. By the time I was ten, I had practices four times a week and several competitions a year. Unfortunately, my path to success did not leave me unscathed. I had many falls and accidents over the years, and getting back up was almost never easy. The worst accident occurred when I was first starting to skate. I was four years old, and it led to my parents almost taking

flight. My aunt called my mom wondering where we were. My mom said, “We aren’t going to make it. Just leave without us”, then, my aunt asked what happened and what we were going to do.

Martha, even though she is only ever mentioned in the beginning of the book, still plays a huge role in the lives of the soldiers. In some ways, she is a large part

Seriously dread. It’s emotionally draining on me and it’s all getting to be too much.

My Mom Really Wanted an Athlete For someone who frequently jokes about hating sports, I sure do have a lot of medals. Growing up, I was constantly involved in one, if not more, sports at a single time. I couldn 't seem to stick to one sport, however. My participation in some lasted far longer than in others, but I either eventually grew uninterested or put another extracurricular first, leaving another behind. Below is a list some of the sports in which I was involved, in reverse order based on

As a bad habit I have, I found myself still on Instagram at 9:45, scrolling through my followers and my followers’ follower’s pictures from four months ago.
