I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT MY DREAM SPORT IS TO BECOME A FIGURE SKATER. EVERY TIME I SAW VIDEOS OF PEOPLE DOING ICE SKATING, I WAS ALWAYS AMAZED BECAUSE IT LOOKS FUN AND IT IS A UNIQUE KIND OF SPORT. IT IS NOT POPULAR IN MY COUNTRY BECAUSE IT IS NOT SUITABLE IN OUR WEATHER, THERE IS NO WINTER SEASON IN THE PHILIPPINES BUT IF IT HAS I GUESS MANY GET INTERESTED TO DO THIS KIND OF SPORT.

IF I HAVE A CHANCE TO LEARN ICE SKATING I WOULD LIKE TO DO IT IN THE PARK DURING THE WINTER SEASON. HOWEVER, THERE IS NO SNOW IN MY COUNTRY SO I DEFINITELY WILL TRY IT IN OTHER COUNTRIES WHEN I VISIT. THERE IS AN ICE SKATING RING AVAILABLE IN SOME MALLS BUT I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THE INSTRUCTOR AND THE FACILITY, IT’S NOT CHEAPER I NEED TO PAY THEM PER HOUR.

FOR ME IT LOOKS DIFFICULT TO BECOME A PROFESSIONAL FIGURE SKATER BECAUSE I NEED TO KEEP MY BALANCE TO STAND STILL WHILE DOING EXHIBITIONS AND KIND OF SCARY, I MIGHT GET INJURED IF I LOST MY BALANCE.

PROFESSIONAL SKATERS STARTED IN THIS SPORT SINCE CHILDHOOD, I MEAN TO SAY THAT THIS WILL TAKE YEARS TO TRAIN THEIR SELF TO BECOME COMPETENT IN THIS PROFESSION. THOUGH IT’S IMPOSSIBLE AT MY AGE NOW TO BECOME A PRO FIGURE SKATER, HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE A TRY TO LEARN JUST FOR ENJOYMENT AND FULFILLMENT. MAYBE I SHOULD ASK MY FRIENDS TO TEACH ME WHEN I GO TO THEIR COUNTRY. MY FRIENDS ARE GOOD AT THIS SPORT AND ONE OF THEM JOINED THE COMPETITIONS AND WON. I THINK IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO LEARN FOR MY AGE, THOUGH IT’S GIVE ME AN AWKWARD FEELING.
