Activity #15 Free Write

Something that holds great regard in my life, has to be Hayward Tennyson Skatepark, but as we the Skaters who are the Locals there we call it 10 10. I have experienced some of the creates memories greatest memories that define who I am today. I remember waking up early everyday, going downstairs to get break fast and right after leaving my house to head over to Tennyson Skatepark. When I would arrive there all my friends would already be there and we would just spend the whole day skating without a care in the world. Time seemed non existent when I was there and nothing could ruin my day. I was able to push my self farther as a Skater and as a Person. Skating at Tennyson gave me the courage and the confidence I needed to make it in this world. I experienced my first Skate Competition there and also where I hit my first Rail. I met people there who eventually became like brothers to me. Even though things would get sketchy at times cause Tennyson Skate Park is in a bad area, we never let that stop us from doing what we love which is Skateboarding. I wouldn't trade all the jokes and laughs that I've experienced in that park for anything else in the world. It was sad to see less and less people show up and eventually the park became a ghost town...Even though things won't be the same anymore I still have my memories and with those Tennyson Park will never die.
