It was never about winning medals or being famous.

I get to see the different sides of skating now which involves not only competing, but entertainment.

But after a few minutes of convincing myself that I really wanted to go - telling myself that I love skating and that my coach is there waiting for me - I would get up and go. And my mother would always get up and eat breakfast with me!

My dad worked several jobs to pay for my expense in skating.

It is a process of finding the right music then planning a costume to fit that style of music.

It was never about winning medals or being famous.

People would ask me why I was doing what I was doing - but I always told them that I just loved to skate. There was no other explanation.
