Trying something new

Learning a new talent, trying something different  takes a lot of courage, discipline, and determeination. Yesterday, Saturday night, I wanted to skate, which was a new thing for me. At first it was intimadating until I saw people I know didn't know how to skate before, got on the skating ring and started skating. So I figured that this should be easy if they could do it until i put the skates on. I found it very diffucult to keep my balance and I wasn't even on the skating ring. Once I established how hard it was, I asked a friend of mines to hold my hand so I can get a firm balance once I got on the ring. So after a while of practicing, I finally mustered enough courage to skate officially. I started skating slowly, but kept losing my balance. Then, my friend and I held my hand for balance, we fell twice, or was it three times, I can't remember. So anyways, I started to get the hang off it, I thought myself how to skate by watching other people. Finally, I was able to skate by myself, but I didn't know how to turn smoothly. Overall, I had a fun night and a great time, I hope I get another chance to skate, because next time I am extremely confident that I will master the art of skating.
