This past weekend my hubby and I traveled to Ft. Myers, Florida, to see our elder granddaughter skate with her synchro team. Synchro ice-skating has been a major part of her life since she was about six years old. She will turn fourteen next month, so you do the math. That’s a lot of years of dedication.
I am happy to say that her team came in fourth place and will be going to nationals in Portland, Oregon, in just a few weeks. She could have chosen solo skating, but she likes being part of a team. They are fortunate to have one another to lean on. But it isn’t just leaning on one another, it is knowing that your teammate has done everything she could to be an asset to the team as a whole. It isn’t me-focused, it is we-focused. The motto I see associated with the DC EDGE program is I can’t, but we can. I like that.
