Premium First-person narrative

One bright but chilly January morning in 1957‚ I ambled across the campus at Pacoima Junior High‚ killing time‚ stalling on my way back from the restroom to class. It was report card day and I‚ like most eighth graders‚ felt relieved that the fall semester had come to a close and something new would get under way; new teachers‚ new kids to meet‚ new assignments to ignore.

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
