250 Words on the problem between skateboarders and walkers.

As I stood in front of the Student Union, waiting to meet my best friends Megan and Jenna, I noticed the Student Union was bustling with people. I then noticed a guy on a skateboard coming straight towards me. I didn’t know if I should move or stand still. If I moved, he might move the same way and we would either do that awkward shuffle where both people keep going the same way or he could run into me. If I stayed still he might move and NOT hit me or he would run into me. I choose to take a step back hoping he would keep going straight. He must have gotten spooked when he saw me because he ended up jumping off of his skateboard and almost face planting into the concrete. I felt bad because he looked like he was embarrassed but, what was I supposed to do? I only noticed him when he was so close to me that I really didn’t know how to react. I don’t really understand why he was skateboarding around the student union because it was crammed with people. I never could imagine UCF seeming so small but when it’s packed with people buzzing around like bees swarming a bee hive, it looks and feels so tightly packed, to me at least. Everyone being in such a rush reminds me of a summer day in high school when everyone was walking to their car, it started pouring and everyone started running trying to stay dry. Back to the Student Union situation, I noticed a person around me acting nervous, as if they would be the next one who would be hit with a skateboard. The skateboarders friends was laughing at him for the fall he had taken. Some people looked like they felt bad for the kid. The skateboarder gave me a bad look but I feel that it wasn’t really my fault. Maybe it was no one’s fault. We can’t read minds and we didn’t know how to react to the situation.
This experience was significant for me because I learned to watch out for skateboarders ahead of time. I hope this experience was significant for the skateboarder and I hope he doesn’t skateboard in crowded places again.
