Character Traits

I have always tried to be the best athlete I can be, which includes being a good sport through everything. I've always tried my best to do this, and I have. people have commented on me in positive ways. They say I am:

Caring- I had to fire my coach Frank Caroll, but did so kindly and softly.

Hard-working- I have always worked my best and tried my best at skating even when things get tough. When I fell down in this routine shown above, I got up and smiled, and finished my program with a positive attitude.

Appreciative- I deeply appreciate every sacrifice my family has made so I can skate. When I wanted to be serious about skating, my family completely understood and immediately wanted to make my dream happen.

Educated- Even though I would've rather been skating, I attended school and college, always giving my best effort and attention. My parents wanted me to go to college, but more importantly I wanted to go to college. My grades matter just as much as my career.

Understanding- I understand criticsm. When I make a mistake in a routine and get criticsm, I know it is only to make me a better skater. It is constructive. To be a skater, you have to know the right way to take everything you are told. Usually, it is never meant to be bad.
