4 day School Week
My skateboard means the world to me. It is my escape from reality and a place where I don’t have to worry about school or life. It is just my friends and I hanging out and having fun like we have been for years. I have seen all of my friends and I grow from terrible skateboarders into a group of young men who all have the same thing in common and enjoy doing it. Skateboarding is not just a thing to do for us. It is a way of life and maybe for some of us a way to earn income in the future.
While I am skateboarding I have nothing on my mind. I do not worry about the hours of homework that I have waiting for me at home or the twelve hour shift I have tomorrow. Skating also gives me a feeling of serenity. I am completely calm and focused on only the skateboard. If I am trying to land a trick I keep going and going until I land it and I never give up. I try and try even if I end up with a few scrapes or bruises in the end it is all worth it. I feel accomplished and like I actually succeeded in something, and it always feels good when your friends see you do it and cheer.
Skating is a really important part of my life. It keeps me calm and mellows me out. If I ever get angry I can just leave and go skate and clear my mind. Not a lot of people have something to do that and if they do they usually turn to drugs. But I have a skateboard, which is legal, and I use it as much as I can. It also gives me something to do on those days where you just have nothing to do. You can go skate around your old neighborhood and reflect on the good old days or you can hit up a group of friends and go hang out. Either way you are going to have fun. Skateboarding is a part of my life I honestly will never give up. It has always been here for me through all of my ups and downs in my life (which there is a lot of) and it will never leave me alone. It will not hurt me mentally and leaving me with questions. The board will break and I will buy a new one and start the process all over again.
