Willy's Big Day
Part 1
Scott: So son - how’s gym been going? (WILLY gobbling his cereal)
Willy: Why do you ask?
Scott: Because I know you don’t like gym so I’m just checking in.
Jazz: oh he doesn’t?
Willy: No, it’s not that I don’t like gym – I just don’t want to do jump roping (SCOTT goes to the door and stares at WILLY)
Scott: See you later honey - going to work. Willy, enjoy gym – it’s something special that not every kid gets.
Jazz: Bye Hun- Do good at work (winks)
Willy: Bye. (SCOTT exits)
Jazz: Alright bud, let’s get you kiddo to school
Willy: Huh – Alright fine.
Jazz: Oh come on – Gym is fun! Enjoy it.
Willy: Oh please – maybe.
Part 2
Mr. Colon: Willy – let’s see what you got – jumping rope and all. 3-2-1 – GO! (WILLY starts panting)
(after 1 minute MR.COLON stops the timer)
Mr. Colon: Time!
Willy: how’d I do?
Mr. Colon: 150 in 1 minute – new record for the whole school!
(CLASS clapping and cheering for WILLY)
Willy: really? (mutters under breath – how’d I do that.)
Mr. Colon: here is your prize – a nice certificate. Congratulations Willy!
Willy: Thanks Sir! (WILLY goes through rest of the day and comes home to see SCOTT and JAZZ staring and smiling)
Scott and Jazz: good job bud, knew you could do it – see, you had fun!
Willy: I guess I did – huh? Thanks mom and dad!
(curtain closes and ends)

Based on a true expirence in gym. Started out hating jump roping but on the last day we were going to do gym, beat everyone in my whole school for one of the skills and got a new certificate.
