Going For The Gold
Winterfest. This year it coincides with the Olympics, which makes all winter sports enthusiasts, young and old, do their best. Sunday, February 11th, marked the day when Michelle Kwan quit the Olympics, and the day local skating talent gave it their all on the ice...
This was my five year old's first performance on ice. She just started skating before Christmas. She was great, cute as all get out, and the lessons she brought home with her were amazing. Some of her teachers performed solos on the less than buffed ice of our beloved outdoor rink. Many fell. One in particular, fell during a difficult maneuver and got up with a smile and with victorious hands in the air.
As we were getting ready to leave, my daughter told me that she was proud of her teacher. When I asked why, she told me that her teacher fell, but got back up and finished.
She said, "my teacher didn't quit."
