In my story I attempted to portray what is behind all the grace and beauty of figure skating. I was inspired to do this because, being a figure skater myself, I notice that a lot of people don’t see all the hard work that gets put into becoming a top athlete in this sport. I want people who see these pictures to see that it’s not as easy as we make it look and that we put in a lot of long hours and it takes a physical and emotional toll on us. I accomplished this by following my friend, who is homeschooled, around throughout the entire day at the rink to see what her daily routine consisted of. When grading my work, I would like you to notice that some of these pictures were prompted, but none of them were posed.
