    Marsha’s story filled my heart with mixed emotions, it’s so sweet that she started when her husband died and held the memory of him thinking that it looked amazing watching a ice skater with her. But it’s so heartbreaking her husband died and that’s when she started that feeling must have loomed on her for a bit “why couldn’t I have started when he was around to watch” must’ve turned into “he is here watching me in spirit (if she’s religious probably something like he is watching down on me from heaven) and that feeling must send warmth into her while she skates. There’s passion from her blades sent shivers like he was right there with her happy for her and she could feel his energy with her ❤ it’s so bittersweet

      And there are loads of students in our veterinary school, who are over twenty years olds and even a few 39 year olds in a starting class. (50% will be chosen by an entrance exam alone without any benefits from recommendations nor grades.)

Just think, say you started at 17, by Michelle's age (27) you would already have 10 years of experience. It takes about 10 years to become good at something normally like a language or sport so i say at 16, start everything you want to do now so that when you're 26 you won't be saying "i wish i started at 16" you'll have 10 years experience in it!!

    Coming back to this in 2024 made me feel great.
    I’ve been on and off of figure skating for years and I’m now starting to really want to get into it again, and this helped a lot to see.
    Especially as a disabled person with leg ✨issues✨ seeing the 60 year old woman made me realize “hay! If she can do it maybe I really can do it!”
    One of the first things I learned about skating was TO fall. Conquer your fear and learn how to do it best. It’s better to know the pain than deal with the unknown. I’ve taken that with me. Lol
    If you read all that thank you. ^^

    Watching this as a Paralympic alpine skier I have to say it’s amazing how you progressed and it truly shows the lessons I’ve learned over the years. My specialty is slalom and one of the things you find out over time is that you will never have a perfect slalom race. No matter what you are going to make mistakes. It’s so quick and you have almost no time to think so all you can do is trust your own abilities to counteract any mistake you make. The hours of training and effort that go in behind the scenes for that one competition is something most people don’t see. There’s a lot of sacrifice and struggle as you push towards that goal. You have to sacrifice in order to push forward and it’s great to see you show even a small taste of what that is like. When I was in middle and high school I drove an hour and a half almost every weekend to train with better coaches than were available in my hometown. I don’t have any lasting friends from high school really because of that, but the sacrifice was worth it when I got to compete on that world stage for the first time. Now I continue to strive to be better and see what else I can achieve in my sport. Hopefully everyone else who sees this can use it in their own life as motivation to keep pushing themselves further than they ever thought they could.

Having an Olympic coach, and choreographic coach it really made you get better fast and it took a lot of perseverance for you to get used to the workouts and that amazing. Going everyday training does help a lot too. I hope you continue figure skating lessons it was fabulous. What an amazing experience you must of had training with these coaches.

Genuinely the drive showed by Michelle, the highs and lows, the supportive instructors and the excellence of the progress had me elated when she won that silver 😭😭😭, 4 year old video yet it inspires me so much today, love to see it

      He's a coach at the rink she mentions at the end of the video. Figure skating isn't a *huge* sport due to the limited number of rinks and the high cost, and doing it professionally eats up the years of your life that most people use getting degrees/starting careers. Because of that, many retired figure skaters end up as coaches, choreographers, or announcers. So it's not quite as uncommon to see an Olympian teaching at a local rink as it would be to see, say, a retired NFL athlete teaching at a local school.
