//__Speeding to the__// //__finish line__// //__By:Sydney H.__// Whoosh!whoosh!whoosh! “You have broken a new record.”my coach expresses. My two sisters scream loudly. “It's the end of a good practice today.” I grab all of my equipment and leave the ice rink. Beep!Beep!Beep!Beep! “Today is the last day here,until Vancouver.” I said as I rose up from my bed. “Sweetie,come down here I have a big present. “Mom,how did you get into my apartment?”I put on my robe and I ran down stairs. I was so excited to see my what my present was that I tripped. “Are you OK,Sydney?” I sat up and said “I'm good,”. “What's my present,what's my present?” “It's,new blades,”Ha,Ha,Ha,nice one I thought in my mind. “I'm not kidding.” “WHAT?”. Everybody freezes in silence. “Your not kidding?”, “I'm not kidding for the last time.” Everybody waits for mom and I to finish talking. “Lets head back to the ice rink.” I said like a leader. Next thing you now were in Vancouver for the semi finales. I hope I make it to the finals. But I can't hope anything. “You can do it sweetie.” My mom yells well I go on. “Thanks mom.” I say back. Wham! There go's somebody. I can make it.
