Through Our Eyes©
Skateboarding is important to me. It is the thing that makes me happy. It is fun and it can be for anyone. You can have so much fun because you can ride on ramps and there are so much good skateboarders in Tofino. They do cool tricks, and it is so cool but sometimes it can be raining or snowing.
And sometimes you cannot go skateboarding and it can be boring, the only things you can do is go on your phone. But you can go outside, and you can still have fun. I love it cause I can have lots of fun. I have more fun when I skateboard, I can have so much fun. I’ve got tired fast, and my first trick was an Ollie. But it is the hardest trick in all of history, and I learned it when I was 9. It is hard to learn it makes me feel good a lot.
When I was younger, I used to play ice hockey but, I don’t play too much anymore. I watch it with my dad though. Once me and my dad went to a Canucks game in Vancouver. Before I went to the game I went to their practice at Rogers Arena. My dad said he wanted a picture of me, so I put my back against the boards. I was wearing my Canucks jersey that has “Hughes” written at the back. He is my favourite hockey player. Quinn saw my jersey and went to the bench to get me a hockey stick. The stick says his name on it. That stick is very important to me, it reminds me of that one time I went to the hockey game and watch the Canucks beat the L.A kings. That stick makes me play better. 🙂
Trees are strong because they can generate oxygen for the Earth. Trees are almost like wolfs they come in huge packs, and if one dies another comes back on top of the dead one and that is called a nurse tree. Trees are cool because they are good to sit beside to get away from reality. You can also hear the thoughts running through your head. Sometimes when I climb a tree it makes me feel like I am powerful because I am on top of the world.
