 Homework Help
I love skating, and everything associated with it. But I also know that no matter how wonderful it is, skating is not everything in life.  No matter how important skating is to you, no matter how much you think you're going to make it your whole life, you need more than just skating.  You need to know how to be a person first, and a skater second. You need to interact with other people -- not just the small group of people you see in the rink every day, but everyone you encounter -- the ones you like, and the ones you don't like. The ones that skate, and the ones that wouldn't know an Axel from an axle.  You need to have the education it takes to function in a world full of ordinary people.

Good skaters are usually very disciplined people that have learned how to balance priorities and get the important stuff done -- even if it means doing it at some pretty weird times or in some pretty weird places.  To help you work more effectively, I've assembled links to some of my favorite learning resources.  Hopefully some of these will be useful to you.
