What She Does Well

I discovered my mom is still a very good roller skater. I knew she skated, but I did not know she is still as good as she used to be. This happened at the North Canton Skate Center last year for my cousin's birthday party. I skate all the time. I took my skates, and everyone was skating. My aunt rented the whole rink for a few hours. My mom decided half way through the time we were there that she wanted to skate, so she went to the counter and got a pair of skates. Next thing I know, my mom is flying around the rink keeping up with me with no problem after she has not skated in 20 years, and that is all I seem to do lately.
After this, I realized I should never doubt someone who once did something and stopped for a while. They could always "step back into it" and be just as good as before. Also, I learned from where my interest in roller skating came.
