build up. The music ends and all we do is look around at our teammates, our second family- we have been through everything together, and we step onto the ice, our coaches smacking our butts as we get on and form the line.

I had to to be rushed to the Emergency room, it was not so…

As I was reading a book about figure skating I got from the library one day, I turned to a page titled “Advanced Jumps”. I was about twelve, and I was not nearly ready for most of the jumps on that page, especially the second hardest one, a lutz jump. I had seen a lutz before, and I knew that it was the second hardest single jump besides an axel, which has an extra half rotation. I had never even done a single jump before, but I immediately wanted to try a it, because I had always wondered what…

This past summer I qualified to attend the national speech tournament by competing in a local district…
