All I can remember is my piercing red blood dripping on the bone-chilling surface of the ice skating rink. I restrained myself from looking down at my hand, knowing I wasn’t going to be pleased with the results. The thought of being fingerless traumatized me. I laid my hand on the cold surface where I had fallen, hoping that it would numb the pain. I said to myself, “It shouldn’t be that bad, just take a look.” I began to slowly move my head downward, thinking about the worst possibilities. Once

the Birthday party included ice skating. I had never been ice skating before, and I could hardly skate on a regular skating rink, let alone balance on top of ice.

came face to face with my new beloved hobby: ice skating. After two years and a lot of hard work, I signed up for my first competition. Ice skating is amazing. When people ask me why I love ice skating, this is what I say, “The way the blade connects with the ice is like a symphony.

Skateboarding gone Wrong I have had several embarrasing moments in my life. Some of the embarassing moments occured while I was a teenager, some in High School and some not.

One sunny day, I was speeding around my court with my rollerblades. I went inside to ask my parents if I could go to my friend’s house, and they both replied, “Yes.” Halfway to his house, I tripped, and fell into the thin layer of grass.

another bruise, but after a few hours on the chair I could make it around the entire ice arena without coloring my skin black and blue. I spent every weekend getting farther and farther away from the chair and away from the wall. I fell in live with skating and eventually graduated from my white
