I will never forget the day that my parents told me we were moving to Colorado. I had a wide range of emotions towards this, I was both nervous and excited. I can explain it best as the moment before the fall on a roller coaster, the butterflies building up in your stomach as the bottom of the hill is not insight but the ride down is sure to be amazing. Much like roller coasters new experiences have no true end in sight but the journey along the way with all the twists and turns are sure to…

I thought I was going to die. As I sat down on the red, metal roller coaster I was petrified with fear and filled with dread as I thought of what lay ahead of me. I put my sweaty hands in the air as the workers buckled me in and my brother shook his head at my apprehension.

With each tick my anxiety grew and I…

The ground was also shaking like crazy! I put two arms on Sarah, so she could not get away. We could hear people shouting so loud, I could…
