“Yes we can all go,” I said.
We all got in line and there was one long line. Every step closer we got I felt more sick and nervous. When it was almost our turn I almost hurled.
“Are you ok?” Evan asked.
“Yeah I'm fine,”
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.…

The Never Ending Rollercoaster As my friends and I pass by store to store we had realized that there was a bright red flyers. It had caught our eye, we went and grabbed a flyer and it had said “Ladies and Gentlemen there is going to be a new rollercoaster opening up this Saturday! Come and join the ride!” My friends had said that they wanted to go and check out the rollercoaster.…
Officially, starting from that day, my life was filled with elation and happiness. I never want to forget the time I started reading Maximum Ride. Starting off my day, I woke up from bed, gulped down some chow, and went back to sitting on my more than comfortable bed, reading the book of my future dreams: “Maximum Ride.” It was necessary to read this book, for a competition, called, Battle of the Books. Continuing on, the deeper I read into the book, the more hooked into the book I was.…
Happiness Is Not Found on a Roller Coaster “Second thoughts? Too late. Get ready to scream!” The booming voice said over the speakers. Everyone around new this meant another car was about to take off for an intense ride on the timeless roller coaster, California Screamin'.…
My own riding career thus far had been a roller coaster ride, tendency to second guess myself battled continually with my natural instincts. Over thinking things led me to over riding, and my mixed signals led my horse to produce ignorance. My consistence hesitation caused my horse and I to become mentally stuck. Each lesson was an interminable cycle of frustration, never reaching nirvana. Riding requires both horse and rider to become one.…
Before the coaster started a voice came from the speakers in the seats. “Second thoughts, well too late,” it said “Get ready to go in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two,…
Riding down the hill. Picking up speed. Wet pavement. Need to slow down. Hydroplaning.…
When I went off I was amazed I survived. Me and my big brother and my little brother had fun with a lot more roller coasters. Soon it was eight forty five, the park was going to close in fifteen minutes because it was Sunday and it closed early. My big brother warned me we had to go ride the superman. We had to run because we were on the other side of the park.…
Life can be compared to a roller coaster, for it's similarities and it's differences. The similarities are obvious; Life has it's ups and downs, the ride can be scary and thrilling at the same time. Once you're strapped in, you're in until the fat lady sings. The differences are that with a roller coaster you know around how long the ride will last. You know who is going to be sitting beside you the whole time and you know where the highs and lows are going to be.…
I kindly accepted that those people were my siblings. They were all part of my family, but I felt an immense distance. Whitney had her own mother standing by her. My eldest sister and brother shared the same mother, whom I never saw before.…
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.…
The drop slide By: Maggie Emma and I were walking up the stairs to get to the water slide we wanted to ride on at Zehnders. Zehnders was very big. It had an inside part of it with a bunch of baby slides, and an outside part that was very tall and was covered in kind of clear glass, and had all of the fun rides, and the drop slide was at the very top of it.…
The Plane Ride When I was nine my family started a move from the tranquil suburbs of San Jose, California to the desert city of Windhoek, Namibia, located in southern Africa. My parents were taking myself, along with my younger sister and brother, around the globe because they felt a calling from God to be missionaries. All of our possessions were sold off, including my much beloved toys, until everything we had could fit into eight large suitcases. These suitcases are what we carried to the airport as we prepared for our journey. I felt no small amount of apprehension and excitement in what lay ahead of me in the new country, but an event I would experience in the coming flight would forever change and shape my perspective of how I see the…
The Day I Grew Up Walking down the road to my first job was the day I realized my life had changed. My first real responsibilities were beginning and accountability was starting to crawl its way into my life. I would have to sacrifice countless hours of free time, hanging out with friends, and sleep in order to work. I relate to Schoonover because like her on the weekends, I would go to the lake with my friends and out to lunch with them. Also, since I acquired the job, I would need to start paying for necessities and extracurricular activities on my own.…
