Sophie Pascoe's Gold Medal - A Fictional Recount
Hello, my name is Sophie Pascoe and I want
to tell you how I got my first Paralympic medal. I remember being in China’s Paralympics in 2008, getting ready to dive.
Then the countdown began on 3….2…1, go!
Then we went in! The water smashing into my face, I kept saying to myself, “You
can do this!” Then I made it.
I climbed out of the pool and onto the
floor. The crowd went wild. Something shiny was placed around my neck – it was
the gold medal!
It was then and there that I realised I had
won gold at the Paralympics. I had fulfilled my promise to my granddad.

As I was going up the hill, it was like the
stairs to heaven like it never ended. My head was sweating like it had been
hailing nonstop. Couple more minutes we would be at school. It was the end of
our leadership day. Me, room 15, room 7 and room 10 all had gone to Shakespear.
I thanked Mrs Taylor for every moment of it.
Finally, we were in school grounds with
dead toes, dead arms, but I felt proud of the whole thing. But now it was home
time at last.

“This one!” I pointed to Messi’s boots,
“these look cool”, I said. I tried them on in Rebel Sports. It was like they
were made for me. Then I had a grin on my face as happy as the sky with no
clouds. I wanted to grab them straight away, and my dad and I were still walking
around, but of course we were going to buy them. I thought it was Sunday in my
head.
I was determined to get them, so I kept
begging and we finally got the shoes. They were sixty dollars.
I couldn’t wait to play my next soccer game
with them.

I can’t stop now! I’m almost there. Come
on! I can do this!
I could really feel the sweat trickling
down my forehead. My legs were aching. My throat was dry, but I couldn’t stop,
I was almost there.
It was Wednesday, week 3, and me and a couple
of other kids decided to run back from Te Haruhi Bay, because Mrs Taylor had
said we could. Now our running had slowed down a bit, because it was such a hot
and humid day and we were all thirsty and exhausted, but we pushed on. My feet
were aching, but it was worth it.
It was a relieve to see the front gate of
the school. I ran through the gates, as they welcomed us with open arms.

My most Memorable Day
On April 10th 2015, at my hotel
in Vietnam my parents organised a birthday party to celebrate me turning five.
My parents invited a lot of people and the party was held at a special room at
the hotel that my mum and dad paid.
That day I got a lot of presents and a lot
of different delicious food. Best day ever!

My Most Memorable Day
On Tuesday me and my mum went to the Sky
Tower.
I was so excited. Eventually we went to the
shops. I got an apple flavoured water. Secondly we went down the longest
escalator ever! Next we bought tickets.
We went to the Sky Tower, because every
year we have alone time together.
Then we went up the most coolest elevator.
It had a see through-bit and there was a projector and it showed the Sky Tower
with stars. We went up to the very top floor.
We saw a beautiful view. I even saw
Rangitoto.
