    I hated roller coasters. They always terrified me. It makes me sick to my stomach thinking about the loops, twists and drops. One day my friend invited me to go to a Six Flags theme park. This particular friend loves roller coasters. I didn’t know why, but he could ride any roller coaster without a care in the world. As he grabbed my arm pulling me to the next ride I could feel my heartbeat increasing. My palms started getting sweating as my hands trembled. Then I saw it, the roller coaster that would change how I felt forever. As we got closer and closer I looked up at the giant metal machine that everyone says is ‘so fun.’ The people inside the fast moving yellow cart screaming with joy. Every step I take making me regret this more.…
