What do many girls dream of?
Many girls dream of a career as an ice skater. The costumes and graceful movements make it seem a very romantic thing to do.

Even after all the celebrations when she wins a competition, Carolina is usually in bed by 9 p.m. She travels with her family so she doesn’t usually feel lonely though she says she sometimes misses being at home with her own things. For Carolina, skating is lots of fun and she enjoys competing against other young skating stars very much.

There were funny moments of course and we were both extremely thankful that our children were happy, healthy, and such good friends for one another. In the end, the money was not important!
