Personal Narrative-Figur Figure Skating

Improved Essays
The sun was shining and a gentle breeze was flowing with swiftness. My mom was sitting in a booth at the birth place of my new dream. I was a six year old girl, skating with the grace of swan and remembering everything I knew from my many years of experience. And as I finished my routine I realized at that very moment what my new dream was: to go into the Olympics for figure skating. I was thrilled when my mother realized that I have a dream of the Olympics and being the best figure skater. From that point forward I practiced every day for this to be a reality. The dream is still alive, but there is much work needed to be done to receive the opportunity of a lifetime. This moment of my life is one of the most important parts that I ever had. …show more content…
I feel that without skating that my life would not have the excitement and special feelings that I so want to have in my life. The passion fills me with happiness and joy which fills my heart every time I figure skate. The world of figure skating takes pure heart, passion, and hard work to get to the goal that all figure skaters want to get to. All figure skaters want to go to the Olympics and perform to the very peak of excellence. As I grew up, I have come to appreciate figure skating more and more. I will put in the effort to make it to the top of my skill level. Olympics are the biggest opportunity for a figure skater to receive and should not be taken lightly. I learned now that I must have the experience of numerous long years of practice and determination in order to work your way to the top. I have 15 years of experience to prove that the special moment of my life has changed me for the better and now has made me a more respectful and responsible

    Sometimes, in sports or in life in general, there are favorites and underdogs. There is a general consensus that the favorite team or player will win but sometimes it`s the underdog that wins and receives all the honor related with that win. This is very similar to what I read about Seabiscuit and what I watched in the video of Jason McElwain. Some people have the ability to transcend their underdog status (ie. Red from Seabiscuit and Jason) and create something very special.…

    Quitting the sport I loved had made me realize that I need to start setting more goals for myself. Before my injury, my goals were mostly just about gymnastics. Now I have to set different goals in real life, which is for the better since I cannot do gymnastics forever. Before my injury gymnastics was all I thought about and I also did much better in school, but I was also more stressed. Gymnastics has taught me so much, especially patience which is why I did so well in school.…

    For over ten years my average day consisted of four main activities: school, homework, gymnastics, and sleep. While school breaks or holidays may have upset three of the four, competitive gymnastics was always a constant. Three hours a day five days a week with no off season left no room for apathy. During my years as a gymnast, I learned the lessons I am sure every athlete is taught— dedication, time management, and determination. However, gymnastics taught me two lessons that other athletes fail to learn thoroughly.…

It was a frisky, yet cool Saturday in April and after a strong performance in the previous indoor and outdoor season (4x100m and 400m), I was determined to continue and uphold my strong form on this day. There is a saying that things do not always turn out the way we hope, but I believe, there is always a positive lesson to be learned from every life event. I love sports.…

    My First Dance Competition The first time I performed at a dance competition was a very exciting and memorable moment for me. I was six years old and insanely nervous. Typically the nerves hit me while I wait in the wing of the stage for my name to be called, but this time it began the moment I woke up in the morning. I remember having to wake up at about six in the morning in order to have time to get ready and be at the convention center in Wichita when the doors opened at 7:30 a.m.…
