 Win or Lose You Will Succeed  By: Chloe P

Racing down the slopes, passing people left and right, feeling the breeze in my face, and being free. I am a famous Alpine Skier; Chloe Porterfield is the name and Alpine Skiing is the thing that keeps me alive. I started out at the age of 11 Skiing; I grew up in the City and my family had a passion for it. We used to go almost every weekend. I got lots of practice in as a child. Here I stand today blue eyes, brown hair, a heart full of hope, and the biggest dream of all.

I have felt amazing blazing as fast as those little Skis could carry me down hills and mountains. People are in such sock their mouths are dropping open one by one, as I pass. It is not just fun and games as if how it looks as people like me are on the slopes and in action. It takes a lot of courage and practice to go out there and face all of those outstanding Alpine Skiers in a race. As we all know practice makes perfect and perfect is a very long time from now. It is about time I go out there and go my best on the slopes. But even if I don't succeed I still have one person who will always help me up when I fall and that is my best friend Melanie. She tells me  “ It does not matter if you win or lose you will always be a great Skier. Making mistakes are what we are mad for, So go out there and do your best.”

I have had my fair share of falling and actually have recently broken a bone in my leg training for the games and will not be completing the Winter Olympics in 2010. Braking a leg will be dramatically affect the thing that I love to do. Once the bone has healed, I will go out there and Ski my heart out. Blazing down the hill all the trees have been shaken. Wobbling back and forth, little pines of a pine tree are falling to the ground. Blazing fast, I can feel the wind in my face while rushing down a hill trying not to stagger. Considering how fast I am racing down that mountain.

I have one goal here and that is to be a better Alpine Skier. However, if I set my mind, and body to the challenge. I know I can achieve that goal. Staying in shape is one of the things I need to keep me here doing the thing I love. Going to the gym and eating the right things will do me with great gratitude. Making sure, I have the right equipment and that one pair of Skis. I am sure I will be the first to that finish line just if I believe in myself.

As I blaze down that slope there was one thing I and that is a radiant little girl with a huge dream. Skiing is the thing that she believes in and she loves it. I know I have a dream that one day I will become the best Alpine Skier I can be. Put hard work and set my mind to the challenge. Eventually that dream will come true. Alpine Skiing is what I love to do and will always be loved.
