My mother means the world to me and I don't know what I would do without her. She is such a huge role model in my life, and she always pushes me to do my best and get good grades in school that way I can do well in college. Not only this but she has encouraged me since I was little to follow my dreams and never told me that they were to big to fulfill. I'm so incredibly great full to have someone like this to care for me.
One of my most memorable time with my mom was in December of 2014. Not many of you know but I used to figure skate. It was such a great time that u had when I did it. No matter what I would spend 3-4 hours every Saturday almost in the ice rink practicing with my coach getting ready for my first performance. I decided to perform for the first time because I finally had enough confidence to skate in front of people. My mom had supported me for the first 6 years I had been skating and has tried to get me to perform prior to then, I always chickened out. I never felt fully confident. But once my coach and I talked and we made sure that we had music I liked and things I was good at in the program. The day of the program my mom got me to the rink early in the morning to go through it fully 2-3 more times with my coach, then have lunch with my family at Sweet Tomatoes on Mill Plain, and get me back home in time to shower and get hair and makeup done before my performance. I was getting so excited to perform up until the moment I returned to the ice rink. I strated to become nervous and wanted to back out last minute. My coach went to get my mom and she came down to the back room so that she could talk to me. I had told her the other girls were way better than me and I didn't belong there in the show because I needed more practice. My mom disagreed and got me up and started my music off my phone and ran through it with me to prepare me again. She was there with me every step of the way. I knew that I was ready after this, my mom just has something about her and can make me feel so ready for things I think I shouldn't even ever do. I got out into the ice and took my started position and saw my mom have the biggest smile ever, it felt so nice to see that. I did my whole program only a little early on some sections, but I did si much better than I thought I was. She gave me the biggest hug after I put my covers on my blades and walked up the stairs, she told me that she knew I could do it and knew I would do so well. This was such a great accomplishment for me, and I would do it again with no regrets. It felt so nice to have my parent there who fully supported me and fully knew I could do my best no matter what would happen on the ice. My mom loved watching me skate, and I do miss it a lot. It was nice to have a couple hours every weekend to not stress about school, sports, homework and all. I am thinking about going back on Saturdays and getting back into what I loved. I feel maybe it would make me do better and not be as stressed with school. We'll see what happens when the time comes for me to make a decision, but no matter what I know my mom would be happy for me since I really loved it.
