3. What empowers you?

Skating alone, I find a lot of joy in skating alone. There’s something about trying to focus and motivate myself when trying to learn new tricks. I get real shy when I’m in big groups, and when others hype me up. I am grateful for it, and do enjoy skating with others, but preferably alone.
