We drove up and parked in the local skateboarding park parking lot. The first thing we saw was lots of activity. There were kids of all shapes and sizes.
They were mostly boys. The only thing they had in common was that they were all flying around on wheeled objects. There were boys on skateboards, bikes and scooters.
They seemed to be traveling around in all directions. They were going down one side, up the other and cutting across in all directions. There was a little bit of hollering going on, a few curses being shouted and an occasional hoop and hooray.
The second impression was of trash. There was a trash can knocked over and all sorts of wrappers, cans and bottles lying around. My kids were ages seven and nine.
I wasn't sure this was a good idea. We stood around a few minutes taking in everything. My kids then put on their helmets and ventured into the beginners area.
You could immediately see the skaters sizing them up. As soon as the other skaters could see my kids were ... more.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
