It was a sunny day in August and we were off to Walt Disney World for a week full of fun. We were all excited and could not wait until we were able to get to the parks and ride everything. However, when the rest of the family went to ride something that I was too chicken to ride, I would have to wait for them at the end of the ride. I would always tell myself this could be the year that I will find the courage to ride some of the big thrill seeker rides here at Disney. After all, I was 34 years old and should not have a fear of these rides.

I personally did not like going to this park because my brother would always put pressure on me to ride the Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster and the Tower of Terror, but I am too chicken to ride them.

Soon after we had arrived in the room, they noticed all of us standing in the room listening to them record a new song. After welcoming us to their studio, they noticed the time and they told us that they needed to depart in a hurry because they were late for a concert. Aerosmith invited us to attend the concert and offer to take us with them in their limo. However, we needed to hurry because we were already running late and could not have the concert start without us. Therefore, we had left the sound stage and enter another area in which our ride vehicle, the limo, is there waiting for

I was confident that I would be able to go on and enjoy the experience. My confidence quickly evaporated when we began climbing up the roller coaster’s first hill. The ride dropped, and I was screaming so loudly that I could only hear myself.…

Still feeling gloomy, I closed my eyes and took a few minutes to clear my mind.…

    When my parents said that we would be taking a vacation to the Petrified Forest National Park, I am not going to lie, I was bummed.

Then, we took a 1 hour car ride to the city of Holbrook where we stayed for the night. The next day we took a trip to the park, and we started out going around the Discovery Center.…

Although it can seem like a big, static, tall building from the outside, Parks library is always like a beehive from inside. Personally, I like to sit at the window of the north side of Parks library because it is quiet and it inspires me.…
