Roller chain

Whoosh! The big roller coaster zoomed past me. It was my first time at Six Flags. So far we had rode about six roller coasters and we were waiting in line to ride the Joker. I watched as each cart slowly crawled up the tracks till they reached the top, then all of a sudden the cart would begin to lean forward and spin upside down while it followed the track’s ups and downs until finally, Bam! Screech! Clunk! The cart would come to a screeching halt and as the people inside waited to be let…

Overcoming Roller Coasters Everyone has an experience in their lifetime where they had certain expectations going into something, based on someone else’s thoughts or opinions that happened to be completely wrong. Sometimes it makes the experience better, sometimes worse. I personally had an event be completely different than my mind set, but in my case it was truly for the better. When I was in elementary school, my mother went on about the horrors of roller coasters, mainly ranting about news…

Carnival Time I opened my car door and stepped outside with Lyla. We walked to the Ticket booth to get our tickets so we can head to the rides. Lyla and I looked around wondering which ride we should go on. I saw coming from the corner of my eye KAMIKAZE. I looked at it and the ride started I looked at the people on it and they all looked scared THe ride slowly went up and down and a little higher up and down then even higher up and down then it flipped all the way upside down. I…

There are a large amount of events that have happened in history that have either shaped who you are as an person or our country as a whole. In eighth grade we learned about the American Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, slavery, the Constitution, etc. One of the many things we learned about in eighth grade was slavery which has impacted me the most. To think that people were owned by other people to work for them for very little money is heart breaking. Many people think that slavery ended in 1865…

from this session I reflected deeply about my life how I got where I am today.

will get on a roller-coaster without any second thought. You sit in the seat, get all strapped in, and let fate decide the rest. The feeling of the wind blowing through your hair, the sheer force pushing you into the back of the seat, and not once you think about how many accidents have occurred on a rollercoaster or how many people have died on a malfunctioning rollercoaster. According to A Pelletier, "Approximately four deaths annually in the United States are associated with roller coaster." …

This example will incorporate seeing or knowing what to expect versus being blind to the track layout or what the roller coaster will do. The first step is the interpretation of stimuli from the environment. A few years ago I went of a roller coaster where most of it was inside of a dark building causing blindness with nothing but your senses to guide you. My first time on it caused fast breathing, racing heart, sweaty hands…

The world is a busy place. Many demands are made on our time. So how do we squeeze in quality time for ourselves? One thing that I have noticed is people not suffering from Bipolar Disorder, don’t understand how truly draining it is. They make seemingly simple demands on your time and then are confused or even upset when you can’t follow through. I want to give a glimpse into the Bipolar brain to explain why that is. First of all, if you have Bipolar Disorder, you probably spend the majority…

were the Iron Rattler, Boomerang, and last but not least Superman. My favorite ride was the Iron Rattler because it has a steep drop that made my stomach flutter and I love that feeling. Additionally, it was really fast and I love the rush that the roller coaster gave me. I also liked how the rollercoaster threw me around in the seat. Towards the end of the ride there was a dark tunnel that made me feel like I was…
