Skating with the pandemic

January 14, 2021 by Pamela Benham Filed Under: Blogs

Class of 2021 – Part 2

 ” Skating is something I look forward to daily. Specifically, during the pandemic, it’s been good to concentrate on what is ‘normal’ in my life. Skating provides this opportunity and balance.”

Elizabeth

“I’m seventeen. I’ve lived in McCall my own life. I’ve been a competitive figure skater for a little over a decade. My main focus, besides school is figure skating. I train daily usually before and after school. We have our holiday show coming up and for my senior project, I’m assisting the show’s producer, instructing 8-10 year old skaters who are part of our Learn to Skate USA program.”



“One form of perseverance is the daily discipline of trying to do things better than we did yesterday.” Angela Duckworth, Grit

What has changed for you?



“I remember when I was a freshman during homecoming week, we decorated floats, went to homecoming activities and dances. I was excited then, thinking about how I have three more years of homecoming and looking forward to my senior year.
Coming into this year, there were no dances and no homecoming.
I can’t be mad for people trying to keep us safe during this time. It’s not anyone’s fault. We’re at least in school. Everyone is doing the best they can.”

PS: What are your future plans?

“Next year I’m definitely going to college. I’m really excited about going to school in a new place and learning something I’m passionate about.”
“Wherever I go, my skates are going with me.” Elizabeth
