Anywhere I could find an opportunity to progress and do what I love. Hundreds of miles on road under my feet‚ but yet thousands on the ice. It’s never there to put me down or lift me up but to remind me where I started and where I am today. When I am on the ice I feel perfectly content and feel at home

third largest ice field in the world and how the snow falls and become a part of the ice fields. Both were very interesting and provided me with a better understanding of glaciers and how they can support and sustain many communities around the world and the connection to global warming. What really caught my attention when the clips also tells you that the ice is trans-parent and reflects blue light and absorbs all other colors.

Finally‚ November first arrived. Since my birthday‚ when I received my ice-skates in the mail‚ I had counted down the days until this moment. Listening to instrumental music‚ I had envisioned myself spinning and gliding across the ice‚ as gracefully as a swan on a lake. In my head‚ I could skate both elegantly and effortlessly. Heart racing‚ I fastened my skates and stepped onto the rink. Within the first five minutes‚ I slipped and fell. Falling hurts. However‚ stumbles‚ falls and head long plummets
