Personal Narrative: I M Allowed To Go On The Ride

Most people are all grown up when they finally figure out what they want to do with their life. I was 4. I realized what I wanted to be when I attended my very first Rodeo. Even though it was so long ago I can remember that day like it was yesturday. That day got me on the path to my future.

I was miserable, I couldn’t back out because I knew I’d receive a punishment later. My family consists of very pushy people. I nervously waited in line for what seemed like hours, and then we reached the front. The worker let us in and we sat into the bright, cyan chairs. Right then and there, I began to tear up. I was terrified! I kept telling myself that I wasn’t ready for the Leviathan, especially since it was a such a big ride and it was my first rollercoaster! “I want to get off.” I said, my eyes watery. “I can’t do this.” I was about to get out when I realized that this would be only chance to ride a rollercoaster all the way in Canada. I wouldn’t be able to go back until I was much older. I took a deep breath, and sat back down. “Don’t worry, Leviathan isn’t that bad. It’ll be over before you know it.” The worker reassured me. Then the ride started. I closed my eyes on the way up because I didn’t want to see how high up we were. I thought silently to myself about my life choices and how stupid I was to go on this ride. When the screaming began, I knew we were close to the big drop. I grabbed my seat tightly and braced myself for it. Woosh! It happened in a matter of seconds and I was too surprised to scream. The butterflies in my stomach were so intense! I opened my eyes and took in the height. I finally realized that I actually really liked the feeling of being on a rollercoaster. I was laughing and screaming “Can we go again?” by the time it was over. After the Leviathan, we went on The Bat, which went upside down and backwards and the Behemoth. By the end of the day, I realized that I shouldn’t judge things too quickly. I never rode a rollercoaster before that, so I never knew what it was really like. I learned that I should always give things a chance before I judge

It was a hot, summer day. Although it was only morning, we could feel the sun beating down on us. The lines weren't too long; after about twenty minutes, we were finally inside the park. First thing I noticed was the delicious smell of food. I hadn't had breakfast and definatley wanted some food. We went to go eat at an indoor restaurant where I chose a chicken burger. Laughter was filling the air as we ate, making us all the more excited to get on some rides. After eating, we decided to walk around to let our food go down and see what rides we wanted to get on.

Have you ever been in a situation where you didn’t think you could do it? Well I have many times and I’m going to write about a time during Rodeo when I didn’t think I was going to be able to do well in goat tying.

“Hey, kids, you wanna go for a ride in the car?” Mama yelled out the front door of the little white four room house our family of six lived in. We kids jumped up and down, yelling, “Yes, yes.” “Where we goin, Mama?” “Just get in the backseat of the car and you’ll see when we get there,” Mama replied as she scooted under the steering wheel of our beloved light gray Kaiser that was our only means of getting anywhere. Four kids crammed into the backseat, halfway sitting on top of each other and arguing the whole while over who’s going to get to sit next to the door. “First we have to stop and pick up Daddy from work,” Mama told us as she tried to calm the excitement we were all exhibiting, “then you‘ll find out where we’re goin.”

“It goes upside down!” I said. My sister was telling me about a roller coaster ride in Disney World after our parents had broken the news that we were going the summer of my fourth grade year. The idea of going to a park was amazing, but the terrifying part was my slight fear of the fast roller coasters that my family enjoys. My parents looked at me, and I smiled with uncertainty. But on the contrary I started to feel a faint feeling of ambition because maybe I could overcome my fear.

“All forces to Star Tours!” Pascal the head security guard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios yelled to his fellow authorized guards.

Over the summer of 2015 I went to my aunt’s quite a bit during the week. Sometimes when we would be going to the pool I brought my friend Hannah to my aunt’s house with me. There are other days when she just comes because I ask her. On days when she’s there my aunt would let me drive her side by side. My aunt has a large piece of land so it’s really fun. We did this days when she wasn’t there too. A side by side is like a glorified golf cart. I love driving it even if I have to bring other kids my aunt is babysitting. When it’s just Hannah and I it’s great.

I am a piece of clay, just as every person is. We are not just any kind of clay, though, we’re that special molding clay that never dries out. Because of this, we are constantly molded by almost everyone and everything surrounding our lives. At the beginning of life, we are molded by the hands of loving parents, but once we leave that safe-place, we are on our own. At that point, we can be tossed, slammed, poked at, and sometimes even ripped apart. One important event in my life that molded me and has helped make me the person I am today was my first roller coaster ride. Amusement rides don’t usually change a person’s life, but the first time I went on a roller coaster, I found myself stepping off the ride as an entirely different person. Most people conquer their fear of heights or fast-moving vehicles on thrill rides, but instead, I conquered the one thing most people are terrified to face. Something that’s more horrific than monsters and demons, and that is yourself. For me, the ride was more of a journey than anything. From the beginning to the end, I learned a

As a child, growing up meant being tall enough for the Twizzler-level rides at Hershey Park. Specifically, twelve twisting, turning, looping, stomach dropping, heart pounding, roller coaster rides. Each visit, I carried my platform flip flops, in my bag, ready to slip on at the measuring station. Crossing my fingers that today was the day!

As we made our way across the park to the ride that I was dreading to go on all I could think about was how tall it is. You could see the ride from anywhere in the park and the park is huge. And it didn’t help that i knew that it went ninety miles per hour. The ride was called Millennium Force. Finally we got to the ride and walked right on. As we rode up the three hundred foot hill and I had the lap bar so tight it hurt my legs and i couldn't move. At the drop, which was more than straight down, was very scary. But it didn’t last as long as I thought it would. The ride was about a minute and a half long, but it was so much fun that it felt like it was thirty seconds. After the ride we walked out and my parents and my aunt and uncle were waiting for us outside of the exit of the ride. We went and saw the pictures of the ride and in my picture I had a huge smile on my

This is one day I will remember forever was my first time riding on the Bullet in Kemah. We arrived at Kemah Boardwalk, I heard music and people screaming, but the only thing i heard was the shaking and rattling wood from the roller coaster, the Bullet. i had wanted to go on that ride since the last time i went, and they said i was to short. but today i might be tall enough.when we got through the long line my mom and dad were paying for tickets.and i went over to the rusty pole where it said you must be 48in to ride the rides. i got on and my dad came over and i saw that look were his eyes widen and face squinted. My dad said in a low voice ‘’sorry honey your 3in off.’’

It all started on one hot summer day riding in the Jeep with the whole family, windows were down and laughter was floating freely through the air. I can still remember it like it was yesterday; the temperature was about 87 degrees and the humidity wasn’t bad at all. As we were driving down the road, the top down on the Jeep and the radio playing as loud as it could go, my favorite song came on the radio, “Ride the Wind” by Poison. It is so amazing and it always helps when that right songs comes on the radio which sets the mood for the rest of the day. We even had our 6 year old dog with us. He’s always content with his head sticking out the back glass and his ears flopping in the warm breeze.

Not only did our house burn down but this is the last time I can remember my

All I can remember is the captain saying, "Please fasten your seat belts, we are experiencing some turbulence." Now, all I hear is my breath getting deeper and deeper; all I can see are lights flashing on and off. What happened? Where are we?
