TKAM Ch. 22

When I was younger, I always thought I wanted to be an ice skater. Ever since I was little, I've always loved watching the figure skating competitions. However, there was one small problem: I had never been ice skating before. The first time I ever went ice skating, I was twelve years old. I was on vacation in Michigan visiting my dad, and I went with a couple of the friends I have up there. I never expected it would be so hard! I was so scared that I would fall, I refused to let go of the wall. My body was so tensed up; my shoulders were up by my ears the entire time. The next day, my arms, back, and ankles were so sore, it hurt to move. So, that experience pretty much killed any desire I ever had to be an ice skater. As of right now, I'm not really sure what I want to be. I've considered being a teacher, guidance counselor, and therapist. School and helping people with their problems are two of the things that I like most, and two of the things that I'm best at, so they seemed to be the most logical choices for me.
