Agnes, your replies are always awesome!
For me, I just starting skating one month ago because it has always been on my bucket list...As a child, skating was kind of natural for me, because I roller skated first...I should have took lessons as a child but I was always to shy..I almost did at 20, and still didn't go thru with it..At 39, next month, I'm soooooooo happy I'm finally doing this..As far as performance, I will not give up until its the very best I can give...if I never go to or win a competition, then so be it, but I'm in this for the long haul.....As a parent I can't imagine saying that to my child, but don,t give up, because with lots of practice, in anything, you never know where it will take you!
