My name is Maddie and I'm a 13-year girl who lives in Canada. I created this channel when I was 10, to share my love of reading with anyone who is interested in learning from the mistakes of others - both real and fictional. I also share my love of figure skating and the journey I am on with my favourite sport. Send me an email at themistakesofothers@gmail.com to suggest books for me to summarize! Stay positive and I will see you soon!

Hello Maddi! I just got accepted into the page program. I am so nervous and I feel like I am underprepared. My question for you is what was the hardest part about being a page?
Hello Little Demon! Congratulations on getting into the program - you will love it! Before it started, the hardest part I thought was going to be memorizing names and faces, but to be honest that wound up being very natural because you're surrounded by the MPPs everyday - so it was easier than sitting with a piece of paper and remembering everything. I'd say the hardest part for me was needing to stay focused for long hours. Even though there are breaks, you need to sustain your energy while paying close attention, which takes some getting used to. It was also very hard leaving Queen's Park behind after my term was over; I made so many great friends and felt a connection with the building and tasks. I didn't want it to end because it was fun! Enjoy your time there!
@@themistakesofothers1925 Alright thank you so much I really appreciate it!
can we have a like “how to improve 2 foot spin” type of video? like how to make your spin longer? tysm! you’re an idol to me 💞💞
That's a great idea - I will do that in a few weeks! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Just found this! I am doing this is the Mississippi State Legislature (USA) in February. I can’t wait!!
Congratulations - I'm sure you'll have a great time! Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@themistakesofothers1925 What do you think was the funniest part??
Maddie can do a video about back crossover
I will add it to the list - thanks for watching!
Congratulations Maddie. Well done! I bet you will travel to more places to compete.
Thanks Auntie Tina!
nice work! you’re a really talented figure skater, have a happy new year!
Thanks so much! I appreciate your kind comment - happy new year!
Well Done Maddie !!!!!!!👏👏
Thank you so much - thanks for watching!
This was absolutely amazing! Keep up the great work and I believe you will be a star
Thanks for the kind words! It makes my day!
Beautiful work, I like both of your dresses <3 Happy new year :)
Hi Ariane - thanks for the kind comments - hope all is well in Finland!
@@themistakesofothers1925, everything is fine but cold. Deepest Winter time. Have fun one the ice and best luck k to your studies at school <3
Congratulations Maddie!! Just finished writing my essay for the Page Program, fingers crossed I get in!
Thanks for watching, and I hope you got it! It's an amazing experience.
yay another clockwise spinnner!!
Very cool! Thanks for watching.
You used the same music as my ballet show 😂
lol - thanks for watching! I have new music now for my current programs, but Rewrite the Stars will aways be special to me.
You truly are a dedicated and wonderful young lady. You overcome your fears in the best possible way: positive thinking. You absolutely nailed it! Great job Maddie!
Hiya Maddie! I have just found your channel today and I am definitely looking forward to watching all of your videos! I was looking at ice skating (because I hope to be able to skate) And I think we must be kindred spirits! Because I love books ice skating and achieving my goals, I also happen to be 12 so that's nice as well! But your videos are bringing me a lot of joy thank you for your time and effort♡ P.S my book recommendation if you haven't read it already is the Harry potter book series! It is my favourite book :)
Thank you so much for the kind comment - it makes my day to hear about a kindred spirit! I have read the Harry Potter series and really enjoy it. I'm currently reading 1984 and Middlemarch - haven't finished yet so not sure if I would recommend them at this point.
@@themistakesofothers1925 Hiya! And I'm glad you enjoyed the Harry Potter books! And I do hope I did make your day with kindred spirits! (In case you hadn't read it already there's a delightful book series called Anne of Green Gables, She really makes a day glow even brighter then it did before.) It's very kind of you to respond, sending lots of love. *Always* Oh! I almost forgot would you mind telling me after you've read 1984 & Middlemarch if you enjoyed them and what they were about? With💕💓 You⭐💘 Always♥️💝
I wish I had started skating when I was younger. Unfortunately it's way too late for me haha.
Thanks for watching - it's never too late to start figure skating or anything that you might enjoy.
I got this book today❤
Hope you enjoyed the book - thanks for watching!
Yo! I'm going there in May 29, 2023! I got in on my first attempt! Thanks for posting this video! It helps me understand what happens there and what I have to do!
Hi Shlokh glad the video helped! I hope you have an amazing experience at the Page Program! Congratulations on getting in!

Oh, you look so stylish in that suit, great job. What a great experience to get to what the members of the state government really do and how it works. here in Finland we had parlament elections and the new parlament gathers on Thursday. happy spring and good skatings to you :)
Hi Ariane, thank you so much! It was truly a fantastic experience and I hope everything in Finland is going well.
@@themistakesofothers1925 , spring is coming here, too. Now today it's really sunny Sunday. Bad thing is that our rink closed the doors for Summer break of 4 months, so I cannot go skating if we don't drive kilometers away. Have interesting schooldays and happy skatings, --Anu
Good job Maddie! I hope you had fun and learned a lot 💗💗💗
Thanks very much for watching Taima! I appreciate the kind comment. I had a lot of fun and did learn a lot in my three weeks at Queens Park!
Good Job🎉
Thanks for watching and for the kind comment David!
Wonderfull, thank youuuu :)
Wauuu, very good video, fine explanation :) Happy New year 2023 to you.
Thanks Ariane! I've got the single salchow lesson that you requested coming next week! Sorry it took so long!
I just came across your channel while I was watching figure skating videos, you’re so talented! I’m hoping to begin next year. I’m going to check out your book videos now because they look so interesting ☺️
Thank you so much Ryn! It means a lot to me that you'll check out my book summaries! I hope you do begin to skate this year - you'll love it. I am starting to post some lesson videos that you might find helpful!
Awwwwwww. Since I watched your channel this year I'd like to say: Your welcome! :) Merry Christmas to you too The Mistakes of Others! 🎄 I'm glad you somehow got through the fall that happened. Also, I love your ice skating moves! They're very graceful!😃 The spins (like the jump-spin or that spin you go toward the ground level from) are my favorite! 🤩 Especially the spin from 2:15 to 2:19! Very enchanting...😍 The dresses that are worn while ice skating are so sparkley! 💖 Finally, I'm in awe that (by looking at your about page) your only 12 years old yet skate like that! 😲 P.S. Hugs from the U.S.A. 🇺🇸👐
Thank you so much for the encouraging words Alexander!
Congratulations :) Merry Christmas, happy holidays <3
Thank you so much Ariane! Hope you had a great holiday season!
Thx for uploading!! Increase your stats = "promosm" !!!
I love the determination! For this age you are so impressive I’ve been doing skating for around 12/13 years and it really is challenging. Keep going you can do it!😁🙏
Thanks so much tay for the kind words. I hope to skate for a very long time too!
i really wish my family had more money so that i could get a private lesson and ice skates :‘) Ive been ice skating every year once with rental skates tho havent skated in 3 years now and im so unpatient right now since I miss it a lot
Thanks for watching Saazaki! I just checked out your channel - you are such a talented artist - I just subscribed! What skate size are you? I might have an old pair to give you. Send me an email at themistakesofothers@gmail.com to let me know!
@@themistakesofothers1925 hellou I sent you an email! ^^ However I accidentally spelled Kyrgyzstan ( the country i live in wrong ) I spelled it Kygyzstan💀 It sounds funny now 😂😂😂
fantastic keep it up and higher😊
God bless u with more and even more❤
This is a great video. Well done. I'll be showing it to my middle school reading class next week.
Thanks so much Ms. Merrell! I hope the class enjoyed it!
omg rewrite the stars that exact version is literally my ice skating song too

I LITERALLY COMPETED AGAINST YOU OMG!!!!!!!!! I got 2nd and you were the only one in our group to land both axels congratulations! I was just thinking wait that looks exactly like the rink that i competed at and then when you were on the ice i was like no way it is the doors and everything and then im like if you got first then i might die because you looked like the person that got first and you got first and i'm like OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cannot belive this! i saw your progress video today and wanted to watch it then the typing said you were 5 and it was 2015 so i'm ike no way we're the same age and from the looks of your jumping i think your reverse like me and the competition thing has just blown me away! I was wearing a pink jacket i don't know if you remember me. I was so bummed that day because i fell on my first axel and i never fall on my axel but i landed the second one and then i got second i was sooooooo happy! but congrats on 1st! and im sorry you hurt your toe!
I'm competing star 5 this year i believe you are too! I hope to see you at my next competitions!
I just realized i wasn't wearing a pink jacket whoops. I normally wear a pink jacket guess i forgot, sorry.
Hi Megan - of course I remember you! That was such a stressful day for everybody. I'm usually very quiet on competition days because I'm focused and anxious but I do remember seeing you there. I have so much respect for all competitors because we all know what we are going through on those days! Congratulations on 2nd and hope to see you at future competitions - please say hi if you see me there and I'll do the same!
@@themistakesofothers1925 I will and thanks!
amazing! loved todays video. thanks for sharing! honestly i am not the best skater, but slowly slowly i think im making progress, love watching you get better and better in every video!
Hi Taima - as always thanks for watching! I'm sure you are making progress and the important thing is enjoying being on the ice! Let's get together on the ice one day!
loved this video! thanks for sharing maddie!
Hi guys - a bit of a break from my Book Haul progress videos today. I've been skating all summer, and today's video is an update on where I am with my figure skating progress. Hope you enjoy it! Please leave a comment on how you're doing in your own figure skating journey!
Do I have a secret twin sister? Tune in to find out! Let me know where books have inspired you to travel to - either in real life, or in your imagination!
You are amazing!! I wish I could’ve started as early as you so I could be doing axels and spins like you right now, but keep up the great work!
What a fine resume' and explanation, clear and not too long. I must read this book again. Murder is definitely not right, but I think Raskolnikov was so exhausted and driven into a corner with no way to get out of there. Thank you for the beautiful smile at the end. --Anu
Thanks for watching Anu - I appreciate the feedback! Raskolnikov was definitely not given a great start in life which led to a shaky foundation.
Loved today's video!
Thanks for watching Taima!
First Comment!<3
Thanks for watching Audrina!

Thanks for the comment and for watching ducky roblox! It's important to keep going if you love what you do!
If you can laugh at your own falls, they'll never keep you down. Great progress; your determination shows the world what happens when you don't give up, and continue striving toward your goals! Great job!
Thanks so much for your comment and for watching Adrian!
Cool! In my first 1 and a half months of skating I was advanced to usfs level 3. I was told I was talented! Luckily I started when the arenas were open
Hi iCherryy - thanks for watching! That is really fast progress! Talent plus hard work will take you anywhere you want to go!
Quick question - how long it took her since starting learning axel to first time landing it?
Hi Yingjian - thanks for watching! It took me about 2 years - this video shows that timeline including the period during Covid when I couldn't practice for about six months.
@@themistakesofothers1925 昔日蓬头稚子,今已亭亭玉立。
What a fine resume' about the book. I want to read it , thank you dear for sharing <3
Thanks so much for watching and commenting Ariane! To be honest, I read and re-read this book about 10 times - Barack Obama writes so rhythmically you can't miss it! Let me know what you think of it.
