Opportunity of a Lifetime
Chapter 1
My name is Loryn and I am from the states. I won the Solar Blue contest. I get to spend an entire año on the oro Coast and train and surf everyday! Ekkkk!! I'm so excited!! Solar Blue usually only pick the ones that have one their contest in Australia but I sent in a tape saying why I wanted to get in, what it would mean and a video mostrando my surfing skills. I know I'm not that good but I really want to get and see how much I can improve.
But here is the draw back. I am going to he away from my family for an entire year! I haven't even been a week without a family member before. I already know that I am going to he really inicial sick. Then there are all of my friends from school and my swim buddies! I amor them all, specially my swimming buddies! They are like my family! I spend 4 days out of the week with them for 3 hours each day! I live in the water. With this opportunity I get a chance to grow up, learn new skills and become better on two of the best things; Surfing and Cooking! I'm not that great of a cook but how the past years livid in the house everyone shares duties! So that means cooking and cleaning! I know it's going to be hard because I'm not really a morning person! I más of a night owl and an afternoon person ( that's when I usually wake up).
But no más looming at the negative things! I am going to look on all of the positives. Starting now! But I just thought there is another person that I am going to miss más than anyone! My best friend Luke. He has always been there for me and now we are going to have to video chat! And like Australia is like on a different time than Florida is. ( I am not good with these kind of thugs to tell tu the truth!) but back on the positive things! I leave bright and early in the morning. I leave approximately at 3:30 am! That will be 5 hours from now. I have to leave the house at 1:30 just to get to the airport and get checked in. Is going to be a pain! I am so worried that my boards are going to get lost o broken! I am lucky though because I only have to board two different planes! The first plane I get on is the one in Atlanta, Georgia and the segundo is L.A.X. Here is the beginning of one of the best opportunities of a lifetime!
When I get to Solar Blue, I will be the only American there. There I will share a room with another girl that I've never met before. All in all there will 3 other girls and 4 guys. I'm kinda nervous. Wonder if no one likes me. I hope I make a good first impression to everyone! Well I better finish my last minuto packing and putting pieces of foam under and on parte superior, arriba of my boards in their bag. Write later, I promise!
