3.Descriptive+story+about+Athlete+for+a+day17

I always knew I was good at snowboarding, I didn't think I would have to be told that by the people who run the Olympics. Im a 12 year old girl who lives in New York, and I was asked by the workers of the Oylmpics to fill in for an athlete. Its pretty crazy I know- its not the first time I was told that. I am not exactly on top of everything on why I am going to the Olympics as a 12 year old girl who has only been snowboarding her whole life. All I know is that this person named Tyler Jones broke his leg (or legs) in a snowboarding compition and he couldn't compete in the race that is today. Let me just say that I had parents who did not want me ending up like run over trash on a pick up day, or like Tyler Jones, even worse then that. But it is always the adults who get in our lives and go “NO WAY!!!” to the stuff we really have a big desire to do. To my parents Tyler Jones is just another person that got road kill on the wrong day. Not me though, oh boy not me. Im bigger then Tyler Jones. First of all, Tyler Jones is like... 25 years old and im 12. He is not going to be all over the news, like I already am. But if my parents didn't let me go to the Olympics, I would never forgive them and the whole situation would be very melancholy. My parents are not those type of people, they have parties in our house like every Saturday night (well something like that) and they are pretty reasonble, so they let me go the Olympics and show off my snowboarding skills. Yes im almost a teenager, but I was jumping up and down sprinting up and down the stair case yelling WAHOO every 5 seconds. The only problem was, the competition was today. My training was in five minutes and I didn't even have my snow pants on. When I arrived at training it was already close to 3:00 and I had NO idea what I was in for. Never mind that my trainers were ACTUAL athletes!!! Who would ever think that a kid would get professional athletes from the Olympics to train them? Well apparently its happening and I didn't think of it. “Woowww sick board man, uh I mean girl or dude. Where did you get it?” Shaun White asked me. WOW Shaun White was talking to me??? “Ahh I made it actually, so you like it?” I responded. “Heck yeah! You'll do AWESOME at the competition! But enough talk lets train!” Balancing was a breeze, all the way until we got to the tricks, let be more specific, doing a 360. I can do all the advance stuff, but a 360 it is really challenging. I had 3 hours for training and I think Shaun White is going to have problems teaching me. “Ok dude, your 360, I have a plan, we have worked on it for about half an hour, and now all you have left to do is belive you can do it. Yes it's a bit out there and I am not sure if it will work, this is my first time trying it, sorry I don't train people, but you have to belive girl, you have to belive Sammy Rogers you have to-” RING RING RING “Hello?” “Its time for the competition, Shaun.” Uh oh this could be bad, everyone I know has like front row tickets (I think) to see me! I have to do that 360! ........

“WELCOMEEEEEE to Olympic winter games!! Im Phil Lewis and the snowboarders for this competition is going to be..... Shaun White, Sar'ah Mc'henry, Lindsey Jacobellis, John Guther, Sammy Rogers, and back in the game its TYLER JONES!!!! uh oh looks like this competition is full we will have to take a snowboarder out of this race, bill where is the hat?” “Right here sir.” “Thank you and leaving this race is..... Sar'ah Mc'henrry!! Sorry Sar'ah see you in the next race.” YES!! Im still in the game!! Time to snowboard. Its time to forget everything but my trainng and Shaun's words. How could I forget them? They kept bouncing around in my head. “You have to belive” he said. “READY...... SET....... GO!!!!” I was off I was flowing with the wind, nothing could stop me now. .... “Sammy! Sammy wake up! The race is over!! wake up!
