To Be The World's Best,

I Wanted To Learn How To Skate Backwards And They Wouldn't Help Me And They Went Off And Left Me On My Own.

I Was Passionate. I Found Something That I Loved. I Could Be All Alone In A Big Old Skating Rink And Nobody Could Get Near Me And I Didn't Have To Talk To Anybody Because Of My Shyness. It Was Great. I Was In My Fantasy World.

If I'm On Skates, I Feel At Home No Matter What I'm Doing. If They Wanted Me To Sing And Dance I Think I Could Do It Just Becausei Was On Skates. When I'm Not On Skates, Though, I Feel Very Strange.

I Think I Dreamed About Competing At The Olympics, Maybe Hoping To Win A Gold Medal. Not That I Ever Thought That I Would, But I Dreamed About It.

I Worked As Hard As I Could. I Was Always The First One On The Ice, And The Last One Off.
