Good question.....did I ever feel left out.......I think feeling left out is why I started skating....I mean I wanted to be part of something. In school, I don't do great, and the other girls, well, I'm not into clothes......but here's why I got to be good at this, it was all because.... I was afraid!
I went down to the skate park, and it was all guys, and that wasn't so bad, except they were all good, I mean, not great, but they were all better than me! Even the little kids!
And there was one fat guy, he was awesome! His transitions were perfect, and I couldn't stop watching him!
How could I ever catch up, learn all that......I mean, I know it takes practice, but I didn't want anyone to laugh at me......So I watched.....and then I thought, well, he makes it look easy, so I slipped in and wow! I'll never forget that drop!
And I did some pop shove-it, then fakie front side, but after I did a bunch.....I realized.....I couldn't get out of the pit! I was scared! and so I just stayed in....for like, hours, and I watched them and I learned......sometimes, being left in.....is almost as scary as being left out!
(She turns to leave, does a trick and then stops, looks back)
But hey, as long as you don't have two left feet, you do okay.....
(She skates out)
---------------------------------------
For those who let me know that July 29th was International Tiger Day - sorry I missed the excitement, but as a Tiger - I'm glad others are helping me and my family not be extinct!
Will do a monologue for next year - thanks for reading!
