Hi everyone!

I just joined this forum today. I'm a 16 year old figure skater. I skate in the Central Ontario Section of Skate Canada. I've been skating since 1999 in the Skate Canada system. Before that, I skated on my own at public skates with friends just for fun. After seeing my cousin's skating carnival/show I decided I, too, wanted to be able to accomplish the feats she had accomplished.

To date, I've passed my Gold Interpretive, Sr. Bronze FS and Jr. Silver Elements. I also have passed my Sr. Silver Skills and my Viennese and Silver Samba in the Gold Dance Set. My goal is to passed my Gold Skills by the end of the year. I also wish to pass my Quickstep this upcoming August 12. I also want to finish my last gold dance (westminster/argentine) by The end of the year. That would leave my freeskates. The remaining freeskates are Jr. Silver FS, Sr. Silver part 1 and 2, and Gold part 1 and 2. I'm hoping to pass my Sr. Silver pt 1 and Jr. Silver pt 2 by the end of 2005 (this year).

Hope I enjoy the forum and I'll try to help with my input as much as I can!
