I wanted a scooter because everyone had scooters and they all would race down the hill in our neighborhood. It was so fun. I wanted to be a part of that. For my eighth birthday, I got a cool new scooter with sparks on them. Sparks are things you add on your breaks so it shoots sparks when you break. It was amazing! I was so happy that I got it. I loved racing and it was so much easier to ride it to the basketball park or the swimming pool than to walk.
