Hello! My name is Aarav and I am 10 years old. I went skating for the first time when I was six. My friend asked me to go to the park where she had roller skates. I wobbled, fell a couple of times, but it was exciting! I had the wind in my face and could hear the wheels rolling—I knew immediately that I wanted to skate every day.
I first practiced in my driveway. I used knee guards and a helmet because my mom told me safety is really important. I kept falling over, but I enjoyed getting up again. I then signed up for a skating lesson. My coach tells me that skating helps you build balance and coordination, and I know it true—my legs are stronger every day
It’s also a cool way to be healthy. Skating is a good exercise for me, and I’m always moving rather than sitting there watching videos. Also, when I go skating with my friends, we laugh, we race, and we teach each other new tricks. It’s like one big happy team.
Learning how to skate well has given me confidence. Initially, turns and jumps were difficult. But one day, I made my first smooth turn—and I felt like a superhero! I learned that with skating, I must keep practicing and never give up—no matter if I fall, I always get up again
Now I skate nearly daily after school. I do rolls, turns, even attempt tiny jumps. One day I hope to be able to skate really quickly on ramps and perhaps join a skating club!
I enjoy skating because it’s enjoyable, keeps me healthy, and helps me gain confidence. If you have not tried it yet, come skate with me—I guarantee it’s awesome!
My Love for Skating
