The Day I Took Flight
I was horrified. Not even a little bit of excitement. I did the best I could to show that I was excited. I repeated the question over and over again in my head as I walked downstairs. I could not believe it. I had no way of escaping it. It had to happen. I had to do whether I wanted to or not.
Most people wouldn’t say that after someone revealed a birthday surprise. I repeated the question over one more time in my head “Do you want to take flight lessons for your birthday.”
It all started with me being asked to be with my uncle for a week on vacation. I was excited until I was asked to FLY A PLANE. I barely slept the night before. My uncle had breakfast ready for me so I ate and then we jumped in the car to make to the …show more content…

I seemed to be jumping out of myself with anxiety. After all this time watching planes take off and land I was actually starting to get excited. So finally we all walked back outside and examined in the new plane. The flight instructor ran all the tests that he ran before on the new plane. Although this time he did the tests more quickly.
