Tony Hawk "I Believe"

In the essay, "Tony Hawk" he is explaining to readers how critics in his life used to keep looking down on him because he was toward the dream to become a skateboarder. For example, in highschool teachers used to believe he wasn't going to be anything in life because he was having dreams of becoming a skateboarder. However, people told him that skateboarding wasn't  a career and it wouldn't bring him anywhere. I believe it was wrong for what critics stated towards Tony Hawks dreams as becoming a skateboarder. He never gave up skateboarding even though all these people was telling him it wouldn't bring him anywhere. Tony Hawk was reaching towards his dreams and he did. He is a professional skater that almost everybody knows.   I can really connect to what Tony Hawk is explaining to readers in this essay because I have critics now and all my life looking down on me for dancing. Specifically, I was told i will never be a dancer, learn how to, master it. Also, there were kids my age telling me I can't dance when i was little. I was told that dancing would be a bad thing to do because I could get hurt. I haven't made it to become a professional dancer but I'll prolli get there. Unlike Tony Hawk critics and his surroundings considered skateboarding to be a crime. I completely am with Tony Hawk because people used to and still look down on me about dancing.
