Polly’s Monologue

My name is Polly the Penguin. In my opinion skiing is absolutely one of the best things to do in the winter. You get to be outside, spend time with your family, have a lot of fun and the whole time your still getting a ton of exercise. I started skiing when I was just a baby penguin and at first I was super scared but then once I learned how fun it was I couldn’t wait to go back up the mountain and do it again. I’ve tried to get my friends like Pam the Polar Bear and Willy the Walrus to come try skiing with me but they both said their too scared and that I’m more brave then they are. I don’t think I’m necessarily brave I just think I’ve had more practice so I’m confident in my skills, but I’ll take the compliment! In skiing there are green circle trails which are for beginners, then there’s blue squares for intermediates, after that there’s black diamonds for advanced skiers like me. However, if your a really crazy good skier like some of my instructors or my dad Peter the Penguin you can try a double black diamond. I’ve thought about going down one but they are super steep and I’m not looking to get hurt anytime soon. On our way back to the house after we’re done skiing we will always stop at one of our favorite pizza places and I make sure we always get the chicken wings because they are amazing. Once we get home I love to sit in front of the fire and tell my mom who doesn’t go skiing with us all about our awesome day! Skiing is fun but it’s getting to spend the whole day with my family that makes me love it so much.
