She have given all her time to figure skating...practising to perfecting...always making sure she was ready for the competition.
"I worked as hard as I could. I was always the first one on the ice and the last one off...always telling myself, One more time." ~ Dorothy Hamill
"I worked as hard as I could. I was always the first one on the ice and the last one off...always telling myself, One more time." ~ Dorothy HamillThis book inspires me with the messages that it is trying to convey...and I have learnt about the different characters...hm. I wish I can be on the ice too, enjoying the freedom of movement...with the beautiful accompanied music... =) Has anybody tried playing violin while skating on the iCe? hahaha.
