I felt a bit nervous at first, not wanting to make a fool of myself. But then I remembered what my mum said about never being any younger than I was at that moment. So, I laced up my skates and stepped onto the pavement. It was wobbly at first, but I slowly started to get the hang of it. By the end of the afternoon, I was gliding along with much more confidence.
From that day on, I made it a habit to go roller skating in the park whenever I had some free time. It was a great way to relax and get some exercise at the same time. I even joined a roller skating club and made some new friends who shared my passion for skating.
Looking back, I'm glad my friend gave me those roller skates for my eighteenth birthday. It may have been a late start, but it's never too late to try something new and discover a new passion. And who knows, maybe someday I'll be one of those skaters gliding gracefully and effortlessly in the park.
