__Me... an Athlete__ By: Brianna B.   Since me Brianna B, won the women's halfpipe doing the event in snowboarding, in this year's Vancouver winter Olympics taking home the gold medal from practicing every day to earn the gold medal it changed my life completely. “This day I'm going to do something for a change”. Let me take you back in time when I won this fine gold medal in the Olympics when I first trained as an athlete. I was the only one out of all the athletes who been training as long as I has because this my first year doing this so I wanted a head start so I'll be more better than the other athlete's that are doing the snowboarding woman's halfpipe event. For Two years I been practicing just for this year's Olympic's just to do snowboarding on the halfpipe. It's very suitable for me to do this sport, I always been able to do this snowboarding because I now all the rules, plus I now how snowboarding works. Twenty-for seven I have to practice, in side and out side, doing the halfpipe with my lucky snowboard. To practice in side I use fake snow and built really high halfpipe's that I use to practice. [The reason my snowboard is lucky is because it helps me do awesome stunts.] The day began for the Olympics, the judges look professional and with smiling faces on there face and getting set up for this year's Vancouver winter Olympic's. I was the first runner up in the woman's halfpipe Olympics, Plus it was the first event in the winter Olympics. I struggled to breath because I was so high up, I could barely even touch the clouds. I took a deep breath, I swooshed down the halfpipe the crowd screaming my name, I couldn't be more blessed in my hole life. That's how I got my first gold medal and I couldn't be more pleased in my hole life. I couldn't believe this moment I lived my life but sadly I have to do something else because that was to much stress when I was practicing. This is because you haven to always get everything right or else and you lose, so you get no medal at all and you feel like you just blow it and your dreams are over but not for me because I don't need this stress any more. I will always be in a favor of snowboarding and I will always will still snowboard with my lucky snowboard, I will always do this sport but not ever going into the Olympics again. I feel superb about my choice and confident about leaving the Olympics. In conclusion I'm going to stop being an athlete and do something with my life, but I will never forget getting my first and last gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics on the woman's halfpipe with the help of my lucky snowboard.
