How has being a Diamond shaped you?
Being a Diamonds gave me a second family and life-long best friends, along with countless life lessons. By being part of the Diamond family, I learned how to find my voice as a leader, and the importance of hard work and perseverance, even if the results of that are not outward or visible to other people. The relationships and lessons I gained from being a Diamond have been invaluable to me, and have really shaped who I am (and who I want to be!).

How has being a Diamond shaped you? Being a Diamond taught me about how to be persistent and reach my goals. I skated with the Diamonds for 5 seasons and saw the orgnization grow immensely. Because of my time skating synchro, I know that hard work and committment really does lead to great things.

How has being a Diamond shaped you? Being a Diamond has shaped me in countless ways! It taught me the importance of showing up, perserverence, time managment, and teamwork. Most importantly, being a Diamond taught me that I can do hard things and how to get back up after I fall down (whether literally or figuratively)! My greatest joy has been passing on the lessons I've learned as a Diamond and sharing them with the next Diamond generation!
