On the 8th of July I went to a new ice skating rink that opened near our houses. For the past 4 years that I've lived here I've always watched people skate from afar. I was afraid to fall and hurt myself though I always wanted to glide freely through ice ( not like a figure skater though but it'd be nice to learn that as well).
I sure was new at everything. I wasnt even able to put on my skates properly. Standing up and taking a step forward in skates made me nervous and excited as I was a step closer to making one of my dreams come true. With adrenaline pumping in my veins I half walked half stumbled to the ice rink and for the first time in my entire life I set foot on ice (skates I mean). I held on to the railings at the side if the rink. I was unable to let go since my feet were unsteady. Thanks to my friend who taught me how to keep my feet I stumbled around for about and hour or so and found the courage to let go of the railings. I focused on keeping my balance, prayed not to fall and I was very much determined to make good use of the time and money I spent and learn something. So I did my best and before I knew it I was gliding through the ice , finding my balance each time I stumbled. I had learned to skate. Though I still have a long way to go. I can carry myself on ice now and with practice i'd get better and hopefully be able to spin and glide through the ice gracefully like the people on TV and the cartoons I've watched. ^^
파이팅!!!!
