Hello, my name is Shakara. I was born July 12. I have a wonderful family which includes my beautiful mother, my two younger brothers and one little sister whom I love dearly.
I first started skating as a figure skater when I was six years old. As I got older I started to explore other interest. At the age of twelve I noticed that skating was starting to come back into play within the youth community. I started to skate every Friday and Saturday night just for the fun of it and because it seemed like the place to be.
Around 2006 my family and I started skating again for good exercise. We would go every Tuesday and every Sunday. There we met our extended families who have become a major part of our lives on and off the skate floor. As I continued skating week after week I would observe the different talents on the floor. It was amazing, I wanted to skate like that.
Curious to know and learn I had started to ask several people about their particular way of skating. It was the D.C./MD skate style. Finally November 2007 I dedicated myself to the sport and was finally ready to learn. Along the way I had and still have many great teachers that have helped me progress. The thing that I have learned the most that will stick with me to the very end is that DEDICATION IS THE KEY! So with time, dedication and my skate sisters I will continue to Blossom into the Beautiful Butterfly that I am.
May God Bless.
