You wrapped yourself in a hoodie as you walked towards the front door. You sat on the floor and…

Meeting him seven months ago at an Ice Skating Rink would change my life forever. Meeting him taught me both that I should branch out to meet new people, and that I should watch who I become friends with. The day I went to the Ice Rink, was a chilly one. Cloudy, cold, and just enough to make your nose run. I had on a long black coat with a…

Since the first pair was created in the early 1700’s, this makes roller blades, one of the first things to ever do for fun. People also asked, is roller blading even considered a sport?

abandoned swimming pools. They discovered they could use the bowl-shaped surface to do tricks. “The Lords of Dogtown” is a movie based on young kids who did this. Watching that movie gave me an appreciation for the many personalities involved in skating, not just bad…

Ice Breaker Exercise In the first round of the exercise, I felt more comfortable being part of the triangle with people that I knew. It felt awkward at first when I tried to do the triangle with other people that I did not know, but then I realized that that was the main idea of the exercise. Towards the end of the first round, we all were surrounded by somebody else; there was not such a big of a space between us. I felt that we needed to work with each other in order to form the triangle. In…

For 7 years I had only completed within the United States. However, in 2017, I joined an internationally competitive team. This…
