The Young skater
Adaeze, a young girl of 16, keen on skating , practiced her lessons daily. For months she found it difficult maintaining her balance while moving on the skating shoes, however, she never felt discouraged. Thanks to her friend Juliet who kept encouraging her through her learning process.
2 months into her practice, she noticed some improvement. First in her balancing, then in rolling and halting. Each of these progress gave her joy and she worked harder to practice a few more skills.
It was a dream come true the very day she finally mastered her skating practice. While going for a spin, she slightly bent her knee, and extended her arms for a balance, for the very moment she stayed concentrated and gave a perfect spin. Juliet who was watching her all the while applauded her performance.
"Congratulations, you've finally mastered your skating lessons" she told her.
Adaeze smiled broadly and jumped with joy. She hugged Juliet, gripping her tightly.
"Thank you" she mumbled softly. Now she was set to join the forthcoming skating challenge.
