Falling Down Became Second Nature And It Really Didn't Bother Me.

Even Now, My Husband Jerry, Our Son Matthew And I Live Only Five Minutes Away From My Parents Home, And My Brothers Live About Ten Minutes Away. It's Been Great Having Such A Supportive Family.

I Took Group Lessons At A Rink Near My Home. We First Had To Learn How To Stand Up On The Ice Wearing Skates. Eventually We Learned To Move Forward, But Soon Found Out That It Was Not That Easy To Stop! So That Was Our Next Important Lesson.

There Is No Age, Height, Or Weight Requirement To Skate. It Is Good Exercise No Matter What Your Age Is. If You Want To Be Competitive, Most Start Young. But, I Practice With Many Adult Competitors.

My Parents Never Pressured Me To Skate. They Always Said I Could Quit If I Wanted To. They Only Expected Me To Skate When They Had Already Paid For The Expensive Lessons. But, Otherwise They Said I Could Do What I Wanted To Do.
