My favorite rider, Trey Canard, got hurt and he is currently not riding. I was watching the day it happened, and I was so sad! He is my favorite rider and I really like him. I think he hurt his shoulder and his leg. Canard’s bike fell on top of the other rider who was in the crash! The other rider was Jake Weimer.

Weimer punctured his left lung, broke his Adam’s apple, got a tear in his vocal cord, got a concussion, got a large gash in his chin, and he had a broken humerus! I think Weimer got the worst of it.

When it happened I hoped both of them would be ok! I really liked what we were having for dinner, but after the crash I was so sad I didn’t really want it anymore. I was really sad because I was going to my first Supercross race soon, and I had even made a rooting sign for him too. So I had to find a new favorite player until Canard could come back.

I started to like Eli Tomac, and now I am rooting for him. Trey got hurt last season at the indoors, and soon it will be indoors again. My dad and I both think and hope Canard will be back this season again. I even have a Trey Canard shirt! Weimer got more hurt and he will definitely not be back yet.

My dad and I went online to see if Canard was going to come back, but we found nothing. I wrote a letter to him, and I just mailed it. He lives in Oklahoma, so it will probably take a while to get to him. He is the kind of guy who would probably write back. I am so excited to hear back from him! I can not wait to watch the next Supercross season! I went to the Supercross race last year wearing my Trey Canard shirt, even though I knew he would not be riding. But it turned out he was there to watch the race anyway! I really hope he will be back!

This is my personal narrative. I chose this because I feel like I worked really hard on it, because I took a long time on it. A challenge was to write 2 pages on just one sentence we were adding onto. The reason we had to do that is to add more detail to make our writing better. The Learning Habit I focused on for this piece is perseverance, because when I needed to add a whole other page, I felt like giving up but I pushed through it. I am really proud of this piece.
