1. Every Christmas eve my whole family gets together at my grandmothers house and it is always full of laughs, sobs, fights, hugs, and, of course food! I have had numerous wild Christmas eves and each one of them could live on as a separate adventure.
2. I have injured literally every part of my body from head to toe at one time or another. I am quite an adventurous risk taker and quite a accident prone. Not a good combination at all. One injury that sicks out to me is when I split my lip entirely open to my chin when I was 1 4 while skateboarding and my grandmother had to take me to the hospital because both of my parents were out of town. She has always been a nervous woman but I have never seen her so calm and put together than at this instance. I must say that it has healed quite nicely!
3. I ice skated competitively from the age of 3 til I was 13. Those 10 years ice skating are loaded with memories both wondrous and traumatizing. I have numerous memories of injuries of both my self and others, as well as memories of medals and trophies. One such competition, I placed third and I was pleased with my performance, I was not that disappointed or elated about placing third, it was what I expected. What sticks out to me is that I am rather tall and I have always been on the tall side especially for a figure skater. When I was standing on the third place podium, I was taller than all the girls including the ones on the first and second podiums which are significantly higher up. I just remember my coach and the other coaches are parents just laughing at the humerous scene, I as well thought it was funny and I just went with it.
