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.

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…

Utilizing similar RFID technology that Amazon currently utilizes in its new modern-age grocery store, I want to track the movement of entrees of amusement parks to examine trends that the park-goers execute.

Hand wagging, eyes pleading, I waited with anxiousness for my teacher to pick a hand. Mine was a flag, waving in a furious manner, doing anything to get called on.

In the mind of a six-year-old, being the line leader meant you had all the power. That day, my teacher picked me to be line leader. I stood up and…

I thought to myself, “I have to ride that thing!” and I went…
