I remember two winters ago, My Uncle Rick wanted to go skiing. Everyone went, Him, Aunt Bev, Quinn, Jonathan, Me, and my friend Tamara. I was soo excited to go, because I've never done anything like that before.. It was soo new.
But to be completely honest with you.. I hated it! I kept falling half way down the hill, It really did suck that I couldn't say on my feet.. It really made me mad.
So I went in the lodge where my Uncle Rick was, talking to some of his friends. He saw me, or the look on my face I should say, and asked me how I was doing. I told him that I didn't like it and that I wasn't going back out in the cold to keep falling.. I do perfectly fine with out ski's on my feet, thank you very much.
I sat inside for a while, the whole time he kept asking me if I'd go back out and try it again.. I kept telling him no, absolutely not! But once I cooled down (or warmed up rather) I thought about it, and said, 'you know what, He's paying for every one to be here, the least I could do is actually make it worth while. Get his money's worth anyways.. whether I kept falling or not.
So I went back out and back up the hill.. and on the way down I didn't fall!! I made it all the way, and at the bottom of the hill was My Uncle Rick with a big smile on his face and his arms spread wide to give me a hug. I'll always remember his words too. He said, "You did it!! I told you that you could do it!"
