I nervously walked to the ski lifts with my cousins in a heavy red coat and black gloves. When I tried breathing, a cloud of white came out. I kept trying to calm my fired up nerves with breathing techniques. Try as I might, I couldn’t get my nerves to calm down. It was like my nerves were on fire and that fire couldn’t be put out.

I would have never learned to try new things that I was afraid of if I hadn’t skied down that slope. I never thought that I would learn a life lesson while trying something that I didn’t think I would like or
