ATV
It was a hot day even for weather in India. The rays of the sun pressed down on my face and neck. The wind rushed against my body as I the golf cart kept moving along the bumpy path. I was with my mom and younger cousin on the way to a track, where I was going to ,be a risk taker and try something new, ride an ATV for the time in my life. As the we neared the track, I could make a large circular like dirt path, but this wasn’t any old dirt path.

By now you’d think I would have some sense scared into me and stopped but nope, I couldn’t help myself and kept repeating this over and over for who knows. But finally I saw the instructor signal me to slow down. I pulled over near them and walked over to them.
