At the skate park, Madison practiced a new ramp while Aaliyah and Zoe watched from a bench. On her first try, Madison’s board rolled sideways, and she stepped off before reaching the top. She glanced at the others and felt embarrassed. “I’m going to sit this one out,” she said, folding her arms. Aaliyah noticed Madison’s scraped elbow. “That looked like it stung. Want to take a break?” she asked. Zoe offered Madison a clean bandage from her backpack. Their kind response helped Madison relax. She cleaned her elbow and watched Zoe try the ramp. Zoe wobbled, stepped off safely, and laughed. “I’ll try again after I watch Aaliyah,” she said. Madison smiled. Seeing that Zoe was not upset by a mistake gave Madison a new idea. She asked Aaliyah to show her how to approach the ramp slowly. After a few careful practice runs, Madison made it to the top. She still felt nervous, but now she also felt proud. “I’m glad I gave it another try,” she said.
