Personal Narrative-Tommy Gordon's Life

From a young age, Tommy Gordon was different than the other boys his age. In a way that set him apart from the others, even those 5 years older than him. When Tommy tried various sports, he was far and away the best one than the others. That fact was proven to be very true on a bleak winter evening in December. 16 year old Tommy laced up his hockey skates, and stepped out onto his frozen pond just like many times previously. He grabbed a puck, and *thwacked* it into the net. Well, let’s just say “into” is an understatement, because the puck went through the net, and kept on going.
