Rolling into the school by Biru Chen Sophomores Tommy O'Brien (T) and Chance Corbeil (C) said they are working to create a school-sponsored skating club. They shared their plans for the club and their views on skating.
C: Well, one reason is that having a skating club would motivate me in school-skating refreshes me for my schoolwork. What gave you the idea to start a skating club? T: After [junior] John Kaiser started a golf club, Chance and I wanted to make a skating club because skating can be considered in every way a sport. I think we skaters deserve a time and place to skate at school. By when will the club be active? C: If all goes well, we hope to start meetings at the beginning of next school year.
Will there be restrictions on club membership? T: Everyone will be encouraged to join. We will be happy to give lessons for inexperienced skaters. Can students participate if they do not skate? T: We are going to incorporate activities like heart rate monitoring after skating and filming a skate video. How often do you skate? T: About three hours a day. C: Three to four hours everyday. How important is skating to you? C: It's one of the most important things in my life; I'm in my own world when I skate. It's my way of expressing my emotions. T: Very important. Skating is just as important to me as football is to a football player. |
