The Titan

I felt my stomach turning, I still didn’t know if I was going to be brave enough to do it. I was 9 and loved anything that had to do with roller coasters . I would always hear people screaming and I could feel the exhilaration building up in my body. We went to six flags and I went on a ride that i have never been on before the Titan, I went on and my heart starting racing, I had never been so scared before after that I was so frightened to get on another ride. I had to face my fear, my fear of roller coasters, so I did. I heard the word six flags and all I could remember was the ride, I just stood there dreading everything and wishing that I had not gone. We waited in line and it was our turn i felt so nauseous, I kept on

I closed my eyes hoping that it would end soon. In that moment the ride quickly stopped, It was so quiet, but in the background you could hear faint screaming,my nose was filled up with the sweet funnel cake, I could just remember the sweet corndog that i ate earlier, and from up there everyone was so small. I thought the ride was over we had been there for what seemed to be a million years, or so I thought, the ride kept going backwards and before I knew it I could see my life flashing before my eyes. The ride quickly rushed down and was going the same direction as last time but only forward, it went so fast that it was slowly coming to a stop, I finally did it, I faced my fear. I was shocked and just sat there, with a blank expression. My step mom finally noticed and asked if I was okay, I just laughed and said yes I'm okay and got off the ride. The experience was spine-chilling. I was so happy and so relieved and on to the next rides. For other people I'd don't really mean anything to them if I got on the ride or not, but for me it was one of the biggest accomplishments I have ever made.

    A few years ago, on a class trip, my friends had asked me to ride at least one roller coaster. It was not a large roller coaster, but it made me queasy just looking at it. 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.…

    “Tuck and roll” that’s what they say when jumping off or out of a moving vehicle but that didn’t work for me. I was about five years old, I was visiting my grandparents that I hadn’t seen in a while.

I tried to drive it, but with my family, chasing and yelling for me to jump off it was hard to do.…

    When I was about nine years old, my family was debating about going to Cedar Point the upcoming weekend. I hadn't rode many roller coasters in my life at that time because I was only nine. Of course, trying to be manly, I totally agreed with their decision. My parents told me how big the roller coasters are, and how the roller coasters are some of the biggest in the world. I acted like I wasn't scared, and was talking about how I didn't care about the size of the roller coasters.…

    Exhilarating: a term making one feel very happy, animated, or elated, would be the perfect word to describe what the day had in store for us eager, and jubilant grade 6 students. A thrilled and luminous smile lit up on my enthusiastic face as I ambled on the same rugged, cracked, gray tinted sidewalk that I had sauntered on everyday for a year. The serene, endless sky was the perfect shade of aqua as the light, silky, radiant clouds formed delicate shapes. The sun was glistening with great luminosity. Suddenly I heard someone screaming my name well not really; it was my nickname, one that really agitated me in an incredibly obnoxious way, “Babikathu wait up”.…

    However, just as I said this the spiritless roller coaster attendant strapped me in permanently ensuring I couldn’t back out. After the attendants strapped everyone in, they did their whole spiel on how we were going to have a great time, but the words muddled in my mind as I was more focused on breathing. The car moved onward and screeched at us as if in warning. Then suddenly the car stopped, I’m pretty sure just to spite us.…

We got closer and closer to the rides, and with each step my heart pounded faster in my chest and I was shaking all over.

    As we inched closer and closer to the ride I felt my stomach getting heavier and heavier. Once we got to the gate of the ride my stomach was on the floor. I remember begging my mom not to go and her just ignoring me. When it came to our turn to get on the ride I remember it all in slow motion. I sat down in the seat of the ride, put on my seatbelt and reached above my head to put the waist-guard down.…
