Look, even I can do a relatively respectable 3-jump, toe-loop and salchow (well, "relative" is a relative term in that case!); there's no reason
on earth you won't be able to get at least as far as a lutz jump over the next couple of years. You might even get an axel, once you stop being scared of jumps.
The thing is, and I speak from experience here,
not to be frightened (so okay, how?). If you are, your jumps will be like mine - either a beautiful push and a wimpy jump that's more of a step, or more likely, bottled, or no push at all, but at least you leave the ice for a fraction of an inch!
