Race:

Southern
Regional JO Freshman Girls final. It was my last chance to
make it to Nationals. I jumped in my short race. I
believed in myself and skated my hardest and I made it to my
first Nationals.
I still remember my Mom and Coaches hugging me after the
race. I knew I had achieved something big.
