    When she was crying about not being confident I felt that
  • My favourite thing from this video - “I wanted to prove to myself I could do something perfect under pressure.. and what i learned was maybe I can’t do that, but what I can do, is fall under pressure and get back up.” - Michelle the most inspirational person alive.
  • @elygivati3942
    Honestly the fact that she fell and managed to get right back up and smile, even though that was literally her BIGGEST fear this video, is my favorite part
  • @penelopology
    When she falls, the guy is there so fast I feel like he teleported.
  • @teacup3539
    I felt it when you said, "I hate feeling like there's a time limit." It sucks knowing that life is short, and you haven't really done much and you're already halfway through adulthood. I'm just so glad that you're pushing yourself to do these things even if you don't feel the best. I admire you and I hope you look back and feel satisfied with the effort you put into yourself and your viewers.

    She advanced so quickly! As a figure ice skater it took me 3 years to learn a flip so the fact she made it in 2 months just shows how much she accomplishes and does for her youtube&herself
  • She can’t even be upset with herself because she started off with not being able to skate at all and now she’s here.
  • Everyone: “I trained like a *suggestion*” Me: “Can we talk about how great a teacher Lloyd is?”
  • @Avery_is_cooler
    As a figure skater I was personally REALLY impressed with Michelle. She took 6 weeks to oearn all of these moves from scratch while it took me aroung 1 whole year! Michelle really has made A LOT of progress in her skating.

    Marsha’s story filled my heart with mixed emotions, it’s so sweet that she started when her husband died and held the memory of him thinking that it looked amazing watching a ice skater with her. But it’s so heartbreaking her husband died and that’s when she started that feeling must have loomed on her for a bit “why couldn’t I have started when he was around to watch” must’ve turned into “he is here watching me in spirit (if she’s religious probably something like he is watching down on me from heaven) and that feeling must send warmth into her while she skates. There’s passion from her blades sent shivers like he was right there with her happy for her and she could feel his energy with her ❤ it’s so bittersweet
  • @ariemitchell496
    she is littrally the definition of "live your life to the fullest"
  • @isla1215
    "If you're not living on the edge, you're taking too much room" wow
  • @jaydenp3111
    I am so PROUD of Michelle for this. Every single time she manages to just be even more incredibly and dedicated and proves that you really can do anything you put your mind to. This literally almost made me cry how well and beautifully done she on her performance. She’s doesn’t just do the challenges half heartedly but puts her all into and executes well every time. Loved this episode 💜
  • @janika2356
    This video is the reason I started figure skating at 26! I just revisited it now, two years later, and I am beyond thankful to Michelle for giving me the confidence to start this. I suck, and I am reminded every time I'm on the ice that I suck but it's still really fun and I absolutely love it.
  • Remember this: you’re never too old to start ANY sport, because in 10 years you’re gonna look back and say “god, I wish I had started back then instead of thinking I was too old, because right now, I could’ve learned SO much”
  • @itsjustmeng2353
    I love how she isn't fake and shows her mistakes and hardships and how sometimes she thinks of quitting but keeps going.
  • @liweisha6135
    This was my dream and Michelle is living it for me! People think that figure skating is easy,no its not easy its incredibly hard and Michelle is doing it beautifully ☺️
