I Think I Dreamed About

I Was Just Ice Skating. I Had No Concept Of That. In Those Days You Couldn't See The Judges. I Was This Little Person On The Ice And They Were Just People That Would Stand Around The Boards.

In My Teen Years Leading Up To The Olympics, I Loved Having The Excuse To Skip Out On Parties Because Of Skating. Partying Wasnt My Thing Anyway. Mostly I Hung Out With Other Skaters. We Were All Buddies, So Its Not Like I Missed Out On Socializing. I Was Really Enjoying Myself.

My Coach Was A Great Politician, So He Did Most Of The Work. He Was Good.

My Mother Stopped Working When She Had My Brother. She Was A Full Time Mom Until I Started Getting Heavily Into Ice Skating Lessons, And It Got To The Point Where They Really Needed My Mom To Earn An Income.

I Worked As Hard As I Could. I Was Always The First One On The Ice, And The Last One Off.
