Memoir 1

            When I was five I was at the rink all the time.  My dad works there and I would always watch the figure skaters from my dad's office.  I asked my parents if I could try it and they thought about it and said that I could.  They signed me up for learn to skate at the MAC.          
           
            I went to the MAC two days a week for group lessons.  On my first day I started at level 1.  It was cold in the rink without all of my hockey gear on.  I had on a fleece jacket and gloves.  I forgot how cold I was when the lesson started.  I knew how to skate with hockey skates,but figure skates were a lot different and I had a lot to learn.  I learned how to glide on one foot and stop and by the end of the lesson I could skate across the rink without falling.  I was doing so well that I got to take a test to see if I could move on to the next level.  I passed level 1 and I knew that I would love this sport.

            I kept practicing and passing levels until I got all the way to level 8.  Level 8 is the last level in the Learn to Skate.  My mom told me that if I pass level 8 she would make me a new figure skating dress. I really wanted to get a new dress so I worked really hard.  I took the test and passed on my first try.  I remembered when I started and thought about how hard I worked to get to level 8.  It took me less than a year to pass all of the levels, but I finally passed them all and I got the new dress.

Hi, my name is Remi.  I'm in figure skating, hockey, track, and softball.  I have a little brother that's 10 and he plays hockey.  I love dogs and I really want one but my dad doesn't want to get one.  My favorite subjects are math and science.  I like to read, watch tv, and play on the wii in my free time.  That is a little about me. Bye! :)
