My mom and I started to go to Roller City all the time, and after a while my mom and the owner of the rink started dating. After a few years of dating they got married, so I basically grew up at the skating rink and was there as much as I could be. ]]> 2023-10-12 20:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/raileywhitten/8pyn7dymc12qx73/wish/2744191831 raileywhitten https://padlet.com/raileywhitten/8pyn7dymc12qx73/wish/2744194486 I started technically working when I was 15, before that I "worked" but it was more like volunteering. I have worked at the rink since then, and have gotten to bring a lot of friends into my families business. I brought in around 5 of my friends that became my coworkers. I've seen many of my friends come and go, but the ones in the picture above have stayed, and I still work with them now.]]> 2023-10-12 20:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/raileywhitten/8pyn7dymc12qx73/wish/2744194486 raileywhitten https://padlet.com/raileywhitten/8pyn7dymc12qx73/wish/2745496554 Overall, I have had so much fun with my time at the rink. I get to bring in friends and show them how to skate. I think that just about every friend I make visits Roller City a couple of times.]]> 2023-10-13 16:56:34 UTC https://padlet.com/raileywhitten/8pyn7dymc12qx73/wish/2745496554
