So I just got the new issue of Us figure skating, and they have the section with the questions for ben and brooke, and they answered my question!

I have to admit, i used a fake name and city haha I didn't think they would actually pick mine to answer but there it is! Im so happy! haha brooke and ben gave great advice!!!:D here was my question:

"When You were unkown skaters and working your way up the ranks, did you have any doubts? Did you ever think it was going to be impossible to make it this far in skating?"

Brooke said: My attitude has always been that anything is possible. There have been some low points in my career, but pushing through them and keeping a good attitude gets you through the tough times. This is true for both life and skating. We try to learn from every experience good or bad, and always try to come out with a smile. "you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you'll find you get what you need."-The rolling Stones.

Ben Said: When I was working my way up the ranks i never really focused on how far I was going to make it in skating. I remember just trying to be as good as possible for where I was at. I did admire other skaters who were at higher levels than me and wondered wether or not I would ever get to that level or not, but instead of dwelling on it I did what I could to imitate what I admired about them.

I officially love them:D

That's really neat that they answered your question, but it was a pretty good question so I would have answered it too. They seem like really nice people and I'm really glad that they had some success last year, because I think they really deserve it. Hopefully they will continue to progress and win more medals next season. :D

That is so cool, and nice when a skater, (or two) does that. Alyssa answered my email and I was all :)smiley:D all day. Sasha added my review of her Marshall's skate fest on her site. That just blew me away! [ gone now though ] Jenny friended some people on youtube and facebook, Tanith & Ben did the same. Michelle will send an autograph pic, if you send her a letter and sase. Oksana sent our John King an autographed hat. They all have a lot of class!:angel:

I love it how skaters are so down to earth and how they actually care about their fans! I mean, they are actually like celebrities but thank god they don't act like them! :) (well some probably do)
