Book review on Finding The Edge - part 3

I have come across an amazing book that I just found. It is called Finding The Edge by US National champion, Karen Chen!!!!!!!! The book is about her journey as a figure skater and it is a really good book in my opinion. This is part 3 of this book. When Karen was 9, she broke her right ankle for the first time. It was a Saturday training session and she was practicing her program. Even though Karen was very tired she kept pushing herself because she hated the word lazy. Karen was doing a death drop (a jump into a spin) when she heard something crack. She slammed into the ice while her right ankle caught the floor. When she went to the emergency room to get X-Rays she found out that a tiny piece of her bone had chipped out of her ankle and was just floating around. She just let the piece of bone float so she would not have to get surgery. But she did have to rest and not skate for a little while. One of her grandmothers had gifted a Jade necklace to her when she was born but her

Book review on Finding The Edge - part 2

I have come across an amazing book that I just found. It is called Finding The Edge by US National champion, Karen Chen!!!!!!!! The book is about her journey as a figure skater and it is a really good book in my opinion. This is part 2 of this book. Gilley told Karen that the jump isn’t the scary part. It’s to land the jump. Karen would always say “No I can’t do that” when she learns a new jump but Gilley just says “Yes you can, I know you can do it”. Karen would try the jump a few times and then a few more times and eventually she would land the jump. Her other coach Sherri was much stricter. Sherri taught Karen the best positions and flexibility. Karen’s mindset is “This is what I need to do, and I am going to do it. When Karen was in Second grade she began practicing during the week before school and after school. In the morning she would practice from 7:00-8:30 and she would wake up between 4:00 and 5:00. Her brother would always come with Karen and play video games for hours

Today was...boring.   I was very bored in the morning that I cleaned out the fridge by myself. It was kind of fun because it took up time but definitely not that fun.

Book review on Finding The Edge - part 1

I have come across an amazing book that I just found. It is called Finding the Edge by US National Champion, Karen Chen!! The book is about her journey as a figure skater and it is a really good book in my opinion. Karen was born in Taiwan on August 16, 1999. But she moved to Fremont California eventually. Karen has 1 younger brother named Jeffery and her parents are Hisu-Hui and Ken. She also has grandparents that live in Taiwan. Karen started skating when she was 5. Her parents wanted Karen and Jeffery to try something new and exciting. Her teacher for that time was Crystal Araujo and there were about ten first time skaters in her group lesson. The rink is located in Dublin, California about a half an hour drive from their house. Crystal called some students spaghetti skaters because they were wobbly but not Karen. Even though Karen learned to skate in California she would sometimes skate at the rink in Taiwan near her grandparent’s house. Crystal went from Karen’s first teac

Mother’s Day while staying at home

This year Mother’s day was a little different because of COVID-19. We all have to stay at home and celebrate our moms. The good thing is that because I take online art class and used to take cooking class I had a ton of ideas. Mother’s day this year Even though we have to stay at home I wanted to make this an amazing Mother’s day because my mom works very hard and is very supportive to me. I made my mom 2 cards this year. One card I made was during art class and it was very light and pretty. I had lightly water colored the background blue and drew rainbows and hearts. I had also made an origami heart and put it in the middle. If you open the heart there is a quote and many hearts and flowers. The second card I made was on Google docs and my teacher made a template. I just had to type whatever I wanted to type for my mom. I also inserted a picture that says love. My dad also helped me make a breakfast for my mom. We made eggs, toast, peaches, coffee, and I made her lem

Today was bad in the morning because in the morning my sister was soooooooooooooooo annoying. I also had to type my schedule which is always very boring and NOT fun. But the afternoon was MUCH better. We set up our blow up pool and played in that and relaxed on our raft with popsicles.  I also did have to post my journal but that is MUCH better than typing it. My mom even went to pick up the Hoverboard she got my sister and I.  Overall today was pretty good honestly.

Since we are at stay home order I have really liked to draw. I have drawn many cute pictures in and out of my art class. Do you want to know some pictures that I have drawn? Art class My art class is called aspire art.  But we are doing online classes because of covid-19.  It is one of my favorite classes that I have ever taken. It is 2 hours long and we have a break after 1 hour has passed. Online art class is also really fun. We take turns being helped by the teacher that we are assigned to. My teacher is s. Irish and she is really funny. In some classes we were talking about quotes so Ms. Irish named it quote class. Another class we sent each other a bunch of emojis so it was called emoji class. Most of the students in my class are not in my regular class so it is nice meeting new people, even if it’s online. I take art class 2 times a week online, Tuesday and Thursday. We use Skype for art class and we use the materials we have at home to draw and color our
