I was walking home from school while daydreaming. I was daydreaming about my dream: being a roller-skater. I wanted to be in a roller derby. I wanted to go big and live my dream. Today was the last day to register for camps and the last day of school. I didn't have one in mind though-at least I didn't think so.
I got home as quickly as I had started walking. "YES!" I shouted. My new roller skates had arrived. They were purple with pink leopard printed spots. I didn't even go inside to get my bike helmet. I was to exited. I immediately put on my skates, stood up and started rolling. Keep rolling girl, I said in my head. I looked ahead not looking down until I was in the air. I landed flat on my stomach. It seemed I had tripped over a basketball on my driveway. A second later I saw my mom's car coming down my road. I got up and rolled to the sidewalk.
"What happened to you?" My mom asked as she got out of the card door.
"I tried roller skating. It didn't really work," I said.
"Well, we have to sign up quick," Mom started. "But there is a roller-skating camp starting a week from today. The camp goes until July 20th. It is at Roller World. Your favorite roller-skating place. If the counselors think you are good enough it says they will get you into a Roller Derby camp in August. You will also get to be mentored by your favorite Roller-skater Mia. What do you think?" Mom asked.
"Yes!" I said enthusiastically.
So later that night my mom signed me up for camp.
