Hi my name is Samantha Waugh and I'm 11 years old and I have just started Casebrook Intermediate which I'm enjoying.

My hobbies are skating, mountain biking, swimming,  listening to music and having fun. My favourite food is Pizza,  and mouthwatering chocolate ice cream, all time fav movie is Spongebob Squarepants, and the character I admire most is Tweetybird because she's hip and got together. 

I skate in Pre Primary and my coach is Marina Tsevina. I've been skating for the last 3 years. I started Kiwi Skate to learn the basic hockey skills so I could join a team, but somehow ended up in figure skating.  I worked hard with my first coach Anna Negus and managed to receive a bronze medal at my first club champs, skating in Elementary.  I won Nationals in 2004 skating in Juvenile and would like to be in the top 5 for Nationals in Pre Primary this year, which I know will take a lot of hard work and determination.  I hope to be selected for the Aussie Nationals in a couple of years. 

My most embarrassing moment in skating so far would be, falling down while standing still, while being coached, and falling while doing simple cross overs then sliding across the ice and only stopping when I crashed into a coach, who was at the time laughing at me! I bet there will be many more in my history of skating!!
