Happy Fiction Inspirational

Hello. My name is Judson. And today I am going to rollerskate.

“This is my window of opportunity,” I said to myself. I looked at everyone to make sure that they were watching because I did roller-skating for 6 years and this is my chance to do it. 

I wanted to skate as fast as I could so that I could impress my friends and family.

“This is epic,” I said to myself again.

As the countdown started, I began to prepare my race skaters.

“Okay, Judson, here you go!” yelled the announcer.

“On your marks, get set, go!”

I skated as fast as I could. I skated so fast, I could barely see anything. Everyone cheered, “Go Judson!”

Then I saw my family and friends. They were cheering and waving at me.

“Go, Judson!” they yelled.

I smiled and waved at my family. I did loops, flips, and backward skating.

Suddenly, I tripped on a small rock and fell down.

“Woah!” I said.

I did a double somersault and felt all the way down.

Then I lost consciousness.

After a few minutes, I finally woke up. In the Medic.

“Where am I?” I asked.

“Judson. You are awake,” said a voice.

I turned around. It was my family.

“Mom, Dad,” I said.

“Hello dear,” said my Mom. “Are you okay?”

“Yes, but I don’t feel hurt.”

“Son, you almost had a concussion,” said Dad. “Thank goodness you are okay.”

Then my 4 brothers came. Kolton, Javon, Jaxx, and Leager.

“Hey dude,” said Kolton. “What is up?”

“Everything is fine?”asked my brothers.

“Yes,” I said. “Totally fine.”

“I heard you have a concussion. Are you alright?” they asked.

“Yes,” they said.

“I hope that you are okay,” said Javon.

“Dude, those moves you did were epic, yet hurtful,” said Jaxx.

“I am not hurt,” I said.

“Are you sure, dude?” asked Javon.

“Yup, everything is all okay,” I said. Then I began to worry. What if I don’t skate again?

Then my Dad jumped in. “I think that Judson needs some rest for now. We don’t want to upset him even more.”

“I am not upset,” I said. “I just want to be okay, alright?”

“Okay, dear, we totally understand,” said Kolton

“Yup,” said Dad. “We will always support and care for you, no matter what.”

“Thanks, Mom, thanks Dad,” I said. “ I hope that you will be caring and safe.”

“Now get some rest, Juddy,” said Mom. “Your tournament is tomorrow. You have been doing a lot of practice, you know.”

“Okay, thanks Mom,” I said. My parents and my four brothers left me by myself to rest, even though the pain wasn’t intensifying.

“I hope he feels better,” said my Mom.

“Yes, me too,” said my Dad.

As I slept, my brothers decided to play games with each other during the night.

The next day, my parents and brothers decided to wake me up for the tournament that I was going to race.

I got ready, brushed my teeth, showered, and dressed up in new skating clothes.

I was fully prepared.

As the tournament started, then I began my pace.

I took a deep breath, then I immediately thought of my past when roller skating.

“You can do this,” said Mom.

“Go, Judson,” said Dad. “You are super awesome.”

I was 11 years old when I first started skating and it was amazing. Everything was awesome. Super awesome.

I took a deep breath and began to think of what I will do when roller skating.

I began to focus on motivating myself to become a better person and make sure that everything would be okay and that my parents would support and care for me.

I took another deep breath and began to think about my past again.

“Go, Judson!” yelled Kolton.

“You can do this!” yelled Javon.

“You are so prepared!” yelled Leager.

“Amazing!” said Jaxx. “You can do this! Go, Judson.”

Then I thought to myself: My brothers were also there to support me. They truly cared and supported me. I knew from the start that my brothers always came to support me when I do something new.

I took a big step forward and looked at the crowd. My parents and siblings were chanting, “Go Judson.” They knew that I could roller skate. But how do I impress them in such a good way? I did really care for them. They were the best.

As the countdown started, I took my final deep breath and began racing. I was speeding like crazy and everyone was screaming and chanting. Everything was just fine and amazing. “This was my life and everyone came to support me. Even my family. This was awesome.

“Go Judson!” yelled my parents. They were really proud of me as well as my brothers.

From yesterday, I thought that I could make it but, it turns out that I didn’t make it and passed out as a result. I hope that doesn’t mean I disappoint my parents and my brothers. Because I am now 17 years old.

During the race I did flips, cartwheels, backward racing, and finally, I was up to the finish line. 

I am almost there. Just more racing and that is it.

After a very long time, I finally managed to enter the finish line.

As I crossed the finish line, the whole crowd cheered. Even my family.

They ran toward me. “You did it, I knew I had it in you!” yelled Dad.

“I can’t believe you, dear!” yelled Mom.

“Great job, bro!” yelled Kolton.

“Super-duper awesome!” yelled Jaxx.

“Amazing, dude!” yelled Javon.

“You rock!” yelled Leager.

As everyone cheered and chanted my name, I was given a trophy, certificate, and medal for best roller-skating racer ever. There was also a pizza party for the people who came to watch. I had the biggest slices. Finally, I won the race. I had done it and I pleased my family and everyone. The judges declared that even though it was a short race they were still pleased and shocked about my effort to become a great racer.

Hopefully, though,  I could be a master and teach kids how to roller skate too. Someday.
