Growing up My family always skateboarded. I was the only girl with three big brothers. When I was little I always wanted to skateboard to because it always looked like fun. It was really hard at first, but I was determined to be able to skate like my brothers. I would go outside almost evry day to skate and when I fell I got back up and tried again. I did that almost every day for a whole summer. Now I can skate really good.
