‘’Let’s go!’’ Shouted Avery from the other side of the bean field. I looked up and saw a sea of green leaves. I tried to run but, the plants were grabbing at my ankles and I struggled to make it through. And when I finished I had to empty my crocs of all the beans that got in my shoe.

I was almost at the top, I reached out to grab a root of an old tree that was sticking out of the ground. My hand started to shake, I almost reached the root. I grabbed it and it Snapped! I quickly chucked the old root out of my hand and flung my other arm to grasp the rope and I started to panic.

I started to shake vigorously and held on for dear life. I kept thinking don’t look down, don't look down, don't look down. My stomach dropped as I glanced down to see the little creek at the bottom.

My fingers were bright red and i tried to get higher on the rope. My arms were starting to get more tired out, and numb.

    So I slowly grasped the sweaty handle bars of the zip line and the conductor tightly put the black belt on my waist. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I took one deep breath and started thinking about how much I had to do in life and if I should go on this risk taking ride. Though, my fear was there, I thought about how this zip line wasn’t that long and could probably come back in 2 minutes, and I could always close my eyes which sort of helped to relieve my fears..…

    Kneeling, I tore strips of cloth from my pants and wound them around my bare feet. I made each movement slowly and deliberately, trying to regain my composure. After a few moments, I stood and ran for the glimmering water in the distance. If I could make the river, I could float downstream to camp; if I made it to the river, I would live. As I sprinted into the distance, I heard a noise and I looked behind me.…

    On some weekends, I worked with my father at his part time job. He worked at this plaza for its owner, and sometimes he required assistance, so I decided to willingly work with him at the plaza.

For instance, if he was demolishing or taking down something, I would usually pick up the rubble and take it to the odorous trash. If he needed to fix a water leak in one of the suites, I would help him find the source of the leak and he would fix it.…

    My personal Michigan hero is my father. For this essay I chose my father because all my life I have looked up to him, even when I was too young to realize it, because my dad has guided me through life, teaching me valuable life lessons and will always be there for me and my family.

He then vowed at a young age, and then to his future wife(my mother) that he would never divorce and do that if he had children.…
