Bad decisions, makes the best stories. Truitt Odom
One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as a adventure. ~ William Feather.
It was summer, one month after my 17th birthday, and, even though I had a lot of great adventures with
the people I loved, I still wasn 't satisfied. So I took of work, grabbed my two best friends, Trey and
Parker, and we set out on nonstop adventure for 3 days, which led to a Whataburger bill of over $100,
running from security, meeting and talking to complete strangers, 4 hours of sleep, killer stories, a run in
with the cops, a few tanks of gas, and what would this story be with coming close dying once or twice, I
mean its only in my nature.

I opened a door that said “DO NOT ENTER”, so i went in. I quickly realized it brought
you to the prestigious top floor, where the judges or referees would watch the race. As we marched up
these stairs, we noticed they were no where near as strong as the previous stairs.
Once at the top of the
stairs, we noticed to get up there you had to walk across the catwalk that looked worse than the stairs. with the three of us all walking on a poorly designed catwalk from the early 80s, we felt like it was okay,
we kept walking even though there were screachs every step we took. We were wrong, it fell. But
thankfully not 3 stories, only about a foot and caught on a beam below it. But our hearts fell about three
stories.
The near death experience was worth it, we found old film cans and a entire reviewing room that
had a wall of TV’s. After we explored enough we decided to leave, Thats when we found out we werent
alone. The place went bankrupt back in the late 80s, so the bank owned still and had hired security to keep
kids like us out. Not wanting to be caught or have charges we started to run and so did they. I knew …show more content…
And as night came they park shut down and I think so did we. We
went to Trey 's house and slept for 10 hours and went to church in the morning and bragged about all of
our adventures or at least the ones we remembered. From then on out I knew Parker and Trey were
brothers. I mean we already called each others mom our moms, and their dads our dads. After that great
few days I never wanted to stop and I wont stop till I physically cannot. I also learned a lot, in those few
days, the moments we have are short on this earth and I can promise when you look back on you life you
wont remember all the days you did the safe and easy thing, you will always remember the times you
pushed it, and you did something different. I also had many mistakes in those 3 day that I also have
learned from, I spent too much money , I let things get out of hand, and let myself get mad over small
things. You learn better by making mistakes and seeing the outcome. Sometimes bad decisions aren 't all bad, and that they makes the best memorable moments. Let go, do something that scares you, push the
limits of what is socially acceptable, take a risk and be yourself. People respect effort, but don 't strive
