I fell in my skating show!!!!?

Aww! I'm sure you did great! Don't worry about it so much! I'm sure your family and friends really didn't even care you fell -- they were just happy to see you skating! Don't let it bother you. We all fall....I've fallen at the end of programs....on the very last beat of music...plop! like a big ol' clown! Remember -- it's all about the recovery. When you get into competitions, the skaters who do better are the ones who fall and pull it together again. The ones who don't do so hot are the ones who fall and then let it bug them....the whole rest of the performance falls apart. It sounds like you did the best thing possible -- get up, get right back into it and dazzle them with your smile. It's one of those things where you have to learn to laugh at yourself and chalk it up to experience. It won't be the first time and probably not the last time. Don't put a lot of emphasis on your fall...we all know everyone falls....just don't let it hold you back from continuing on! :)
