I love this video shared by Audrey with the caption

When Ella first started skating I was so nervous that she would stick with it long enough to drop in from this thing. Well, today was her first attempt and I was not scared thanks to years with her amazing teachers #girlswhoskateboard

I blog because more girls skate when they see girls having fun skating, and I blog about the people who encourage them because encouragement really helps you stick with anything new.

Enjoy the process of whatever you’re learning.  I don’t think anyone likes to make mistakes or fall but when you realize that’s not the end it’s part of learning & progressing, it gives you a perspective to keep “sticking” with it.

When you surround yourself with people who encourage you to keep learning and doing your best, you set yourself up for success and happiness on & off the board.
