My Life Has Been A Whirlwind Since

Part Of Being A Champ Is Acting Like A Champ. You Have To Learn How To Win And Not Run Away When You Lose. Everyone Has Bad Stretches And Real Successes. Either Way, You Have To Be Careful Not To Lose Your Confidence Or Get To Confident.

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.

I Was A Tomboy Who Liked To Play Rough Just Like My Two Older Brothers. That's Probably Why I Liked The Athletic Part Of Skating - Especially The Jumping!

I Started Skating When I Was Six Years Old.

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.
