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.
I like how you talked about your goal on getting to level 8. You could have talked about your other levels as well. (:
ReplyDeleteI liked the whole thing, but I do have to agree with Abbie on that one.
ReplyDeleteI like the details about your first lesson and passing level 8.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you discribed wanting to pass level 8 but you could have described some of the things that you did to pass the test or somethng.
