My dad worked several jobs to pay for my expense in skating.
I started skating when I was six years old.
Even now I can't describe why I love skating so much.
It wasn't always easy getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to go to the rink. Sometimes I wanted to just go back to sleep.
My life has been a whirlwind since the '94 Olympics.
Falling down became second nature and it really didn't bother me.
