Last week I was lucky enough to attend the creative Flora Rose House event of ice skating. I was unaware that it was at all possible for us as students to skate at the ice rink. I have not skated in quite a while and was excited to get on the ice. It is easy to forget the feeling of not being in control while stepping on ice. When I was younger I was in figure skating classes and loved it until I fell and broke my ankle and never went back. After that my only other experience has been in Chicago’s millenium park. Therefore, skating in the rink was different than what I am used to. Overall, it is fun to be able to engage in a winter activity that many of us do not get to do on a regular basis. I will make sure to go ice skating after winter break and next year with my friends. I am happy that I got the experience as well as know that this a possible activity for winter.
