Challenged overcome in vancouver

Well, my story may not be that impressive, but it is something that happened to me that I consider as an overcome challenge in Vancouver.
Last week, some people from Tamwood decided to do something after school. As we are in a very cold city, we decided to go to an ice-skating place where everybody could have fun.
For me, it would be a great new thing, because in opposite of most of people who came, I hadn`t ever ice-skated before, because I come from a tropical country!!!!!
Actually, I had. But it was when I was 5 or 6. There was an ice-skating place in a mall in the capital of my state and I went there with my family, but that was such a long time ago.
Well, as you can imagine, I fell down many and many times. But I decided that I would complete one lap on the ice without falling. That was my challenge.
It is not easy to ice-skate, especially when we have to turn. People tried to help me achieving my goal, but that wasn`t easy. I almost gave up, but finally, and many more falls later, I did it. It`s a pity that no one was looking, so there are still people who don`t believe that I did it - but I swear I did it!!
Well, that`s my challeged overcome, I am really glad that I could do that.
