I was given my first pair of skates when I was seven years old, and I’ve spends lots of time on the skating since then Figure skating is a beautiful, but demanding sport. It has taught me the value of discipline, hard work, and getting up and trying again after you fall down. I ‘ve had ups and downs in my skating career, but the most important thing I’ve learned is that you need to have a positive attitude. Whether you skate competitively or just for fun and exercise, the right attitude will always give you an edge.
