The Race

Member Story 
 
"The race is tomorrow!" said a 10-year-old boy named Yusuf.
"Get some sleep.  It's going to be very early tomorrow," said his mom.
"Fine," said Yusuf.

The next morning....

"Wake up, Yusuf," said his mom.
"Ok, what time is it?" asked Yusuf.
"Get in the car," said his mom. "You're almost late for the race."
"We are here," said Yusuf a few minutes later.
"You made it in time.  Go stand at the start line," said his mom.  "It's about to start."
"Get ready," said the announcer.
"I am ready," whispered Yusuf.
"Get set, Go!" said the announcer.
Yusuf ran at his top speed with three people ahead of him. He then ran even faster and had only one person close to him.
"You're not going to win!" said the other boy.
"Oh, but I am!" said Yusuf as he ran to the finish line. He got the first place medal.

  3. Pretty cool story, the only way you could've made it better is when the character Yusuf asks for the time, the mother should have gave it to him and say he was almost late for the race, overally it's nice! :3
