Some of the funnest things I’ve ever done were things I didn’t want to do. Things that used to scared me are things that I look forward to doing now. I’ve learned a lot of things just by going out and doing something out of my comfort zone. Some fun things are disguised as bad, so we decided not to do it because we may not like it. One of my most learning experiences was at Six Flags Great America.
As we entered the gates to the park, everyone was excited, except for me. Because, I made a promise that I was not sure that I could keep. As I got further into the park my ears were being filled with the screams of terror and thrill. But, I ignored that because the only thing I could focus on was the big orange roller coaster, “The Raging Bull” …show more content…
I zoned out because all I could do was remind myself about the horrible mistake I’ve made. The ride was over before I knew it, we got off and headed toward the thing I’ve been dreading about all day. “Is it scary?” I kept asking my Dad who replied with “It’s not scary, it’s fun”. But second to worst part of going on a foreign rollercoaster for the first time. The wait in line. The anticipation was building and the second thoughts kept coming. I kept trying to talk logic into myself, “They wouldn’t let you on the ride if it was dangerous”, and “What is the worst that can happen?

The seconds were going way too fast for my comfort. I wanted off, I wanted off right now. But, something kept me from getting off or saying anything about it. The TV hit 1, then 0 and we took off.
We started up the 200 foot drop, “Don’t look down” they kept telling me. Telling me not to look down made it even worse. It took what felt like forever to get to the top of the drop. I heard the front of the coaster stop making the clicking noise, and soon after I went flying down the 200 foot drop. I was terrified till I realised that I actually wasn’t scared, I was having a ton of fun. We were fly around turns, going up and down drops, and before I knew it the ride was over. shockingly to me, I didn’t want it to be over, I want to go on it again. The 200 foot drop that terrified me became the new highlight of my year.
To some, it may just be “another roller coaster”, but to me it was a learning experience. Some of the things that I’ve been most scared of and done, I liked. I learned that I should go out of my comfort zone and do something that I am scared and in general try new things. I’ve been scared of doing things for most of my life, and I’ve finally decided that I am going to try things that scare me because for all I know, it could be the funnest or best thing I’ve ever
