On Christmas morning, my mom gave me a funny looking package. I said, “Yippee!” when I opened it and saw a new skateboard. I ran outside, so I could ride it. I rode it up and down the street. Whenever I fell off, I just got back on. I love riding my skateboard and practicing different moves. Someday, I hope to become a professional skateboarder like Tony Hawk.
