“Today is going to be perfect!” I told myself. It was April 1, 2012, and it was my birthday. I had just finished a long, boring day of school when I started to wait for my eighth birthday party. My mom and I had spent the entire afternoon searching for cakes, birthday favors, and more. This was all to lead up to my party. The party was going to be a star-wars themed birthday party with all sorts of decorations. It was going to be at Kid’s Kingdom, a gymnastics center, where we would jump on trampolines. That was assuming I would be able to jump.
We left the house and began driving to Kid’s Kingdom. I stepped out of the car and immediately tripped over a rock. That was the worst thing I would have ever thought would happen on a birthday. When we went in Kid’s Kingdom, we began to set up decorations. We put the cake in place, got the table set, got the silverware out, and we were then waiting for the kids to come. There was still half an hour until the party was going to start, so we waited in the party room. We stood in there for around 10 minutes until I lost my patience, so I left and jumped on the trampolines early. I had then remembered there was a new slide that had just opened.
This slide was ginormous. It stood extremely high, and it was completely made of wood. I had to walk up these very steep and narrow stairs to be able to get on it. My mom had warned me to watch my step going up the stairs, but I didn’t listen. I was too excited to finally slide down it. As I was running up the stairs, my mom called my name. “Gerson!” yelled my mom. I turned and moved an inch too forward. Without a breath, I collapsed down the stairs, and I felt every stair hit my body before I hit my head extremely hard on the oak floor. The bang sounded like someone slamming a book against a desk. The room was completely quiet. The silence was broken when I let out a screech like no other. My parents came, and they brought me to the front desk in the lobby. The employee looked as terrified as I was. My parents sat me on the desk while they scrambled to get their keys. When I looked in front of me, I saw the sad faces. All of my friends walked by, and I didn’t know what to say. They all had blank expressions not knowing what to
My cousin and I were heading over to our favorite ride there, the Twirl And Whirl, it was so fun, when we went on that ride it felt like we were flying when we closed our eyes and felt it spin. While we were on the ride my sister and her friend asked if they could go on the roller coaster and our dad said,”Yes, but first let 's wait for this ride to be done so all of us can go.” soon the twirl and whirl ride stopped and we got off and headed towards the roller coaster ride called the bullet, we waited in line for maybe 10 min then got on, I sat next to my dad because it was my first roller coaster ride,”Everyone
It was December 30th 2017, my 13th birthday, I just needed this day to go the way I wanted. Last year my 12th birthday, was probably the scariest day of my life. It all started on our way back home from my Grandma Suzie's Christmas in St. Louis, just about a three hour drive from our little town Glenwood, Iowa. We were driving right behind my Uncle Jake’s truck with his three kids and wife. It had snowed about 4 inches the night before so the roads were slick and chunks of snow and ice were scattered throughout the whole road. As I sat in the back seat and I looked up from my phone and ahead of the car to see Jake’s truck swerving and drives straight off the road and flips to its side. My heartbeat stopped. My dad pulled off to the side of the road and jumps straight out and ran to the car with my mom. The car was laying on the driver’s side of the car up against a hill, right on Uncle Jake. My Aunt Jamie had gotten out no problem through the window and was struggling harder than ever to get her kids out, that’s when my mom hopped right in to help her. I stayed in the car to call 911. My dad went straight to his brother's side of the car and made an effort to pull him out using every muscle in his body. It was 18° outside and he still had sweat going down the side of his
It was about 2 hours before we had to leave and I kept going over the jump on that little path and jumped higher and higher every time. Finally one time I drive over to the group by the fire and told my dad to watch me. My plan was to go really fast and get really big air. I went down the path like always. All of the sudden I was in midair thinking “How did I get myself into this.” I felt scared because I was looking at the ground and wasn’t close to landing. I came crashing down on the right front tire and somehow landed back on all four wheels but not before hitting my face on the front rack of the four wheeler. After I landed I didn’t really realize how close I was to going to the hospital and having really bad injuries. I rode back over to my dad and he had the most scared look on his face. I said “Did you see how high I got?!” He looked at me and said, “Don’t ever do that again.” I laughed and asked why. He said, “If mom was here you wouldn’t get back on the four wheeler because you almost just died.” I looked over at the rest of the group and they all shook their heads in agreement with my dad. I was too scared to ever jump that jump ever again. After that big event we stayed for another hour and a half. We packed up and headed home. I was to wore out and I slept all the way home. Once we got home the people that we picked up in the beginning of the day came to our house for chilli that my mom made. At dinner we talked about what we liked and what was the most fun and how I almost died. My mom’s response was, “Good thing I wasn’t there you wouldn’t have gotten back on the four wheeler.” After dinner the other family left with their four wheeler and I went to bed because I was to beat. The
I am still in my room because I have butterflies in my tummy. I knew I had to go down so I did and we ended up having so much fun. We ate cake, played games and I opened presents. Just like a normal birthday party, but the time came. I had to go into the woods. I just hoped and prayed that everyone would forget about it but then, out of the blue, Tony
Then there it was we arrived at 6 flags. I was so excited because the only rollercoaster I been on was the zippin pippin. So I didn't know what to expect. We ran the gate to get in to get our wristband. Then I heard it the sound of kids screaming it was a amazing. The ride I wanted to ride the most was the super man. It’s a ride where you leaning forward like superman. It took forever to get on the ride. I was so impatient to get on the ride. Then finally we got on the ride. Me and my mom were screaming the whole time it’s was so funny. Then we got of then we went to the raging bull. After we got of the raging bull. We got something to eat I got a chicken srip basket and fries and so did my mom. After we were gone eating the wait I have been waiting all day for the Goliath. The number 1 scariest ride in the world. That line took 3 hour to wait we were on it. Screamed the whole time with enjoyment. When we got of it we went to our hotel and ate supper. Then finally I could open up my present. I got a brand new Orange Mako 2016. I was so excited I was jumping of the wall. Then it was morning and we left the hotel and headed back home. That was so AWESOME I told my mom and she had fun
It was around 4:30 5:00pm on a Saturday when my Dad, Sister Ahlancya, Cousin Mycal, Best friend Gracie, and I were getting in the car after the dentist to go to the Ohio State Fair. When we got there we had to walk over to where the rides were because of where we parked. “Whoosh”, as the rides went past. After getting are wrist bands we all except my Dad jumped into the line of our favorite rides. Gracie and I even rode or two that Ahlancya and Mycal recommended for us to ride, they were so fun!!! In till they recommended us to ride this rollercoaster that goes upside down and hangs you there for about 15 seconds mind me Gracie and I hated those rides
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
It was a partially sunny day at the rowdy Six Flags park, I was with friends and family. Throughout the car ride all anyone could talk about was how they were going to ride the horrific Goliath. Goliath is a roller coaster at Six Flags that I personally think is terrifying. When we got there had talked to one of the people at the entrance and we mentioned they we were going to go on Goliath. She had said “ I went on there once it was horrible never again”. Me being the little chicken I am I said “ Forget this I'm not going”! Everyone looked at me kinda like they were disappointed, My brother said “ Come on you gotta do this it's not even that scary”. So then I said “ Fine I’ll go”. Well that was a mistake. Walked over to the ride
Throughout the short story, The Birthday, the writer, Samantha Ashenhurst uses the writing tool: Get the name of the dog. To begin with, Samantha begins the story with a descriptive introduction, which gives the reader the ability to visualize the current circumstance’s atmosphere. For instance, the author mentions the specific kind of drink and pizza, the color of the blinds, the exact number of times she pukes, and takes medicine, etc. She describes the background’s setting in details as well. In my opinion, Samantha’s very specific, which portrays how honest she is. This also leads to building the writer’s own distinct voice. Thus, this effectively initiates a connection with the reader psychologically.
My friend would climb to the top of the slide; I would hold the bottom of the slide to where the slide was at a severe incline. Then once I knew she was on and holding on, I would sit on the bottom as the top end of the swing would whip and whirl around until we stopped. After a couple of times, I wanted to take a turn. I remember looking down to see that she was holding on and so I started to journey to the top. I had just barely made it to the top, still hadn’t turned around to sit down, and then it happened. She let go of the swing completely. I went
We finally got to the seats, my whole entire body was shaking.I felt terrified, that was the last feeling I could feel until I burst into tears when we started heading up the rollercoaster. When we got to the head of the hill my sister said the one thing I did not want to here, she said “ Chase don't look down. Of course being the little child I was I looked down. I froze, and that was it I was literally about to die. I saw my life flash before my eyes going down that hill, crying I was telling my dad that this was the scariest thing I’ve ever done.
My mom and I were on our way to visit my grandma in Chillicothe. We rarely see my grandma, so it was nice to visit her. When we arrived my grandma was cooking dinner. She was making homemade french fries, while my grandpa cooked hamburgers on the grill. I was only 8, so I was very hyper to go outside and play. My mom said after dinner you can stay outside until we left. After eating everything on my plate, I was stuffed and didn’t want to go outside. So we decided we would just go home and go to bed, but I wanted to stay at my grandparents house, I finally convinced my mom that I should stay.
The morning sunshine seeped through the cracks between my shutters, lighting up my room. I could hear the clock ticking and the rays of sunlight bouncing off of my eyelids. I barely got any sleep last night because I was ecstatic that tomorrow was, my birthday! I jumped up out of bed, how could I have forgotten that it was my birthday? Suddenly all of my drowsiness turned it into excitement and I jumped up, throwing the red gradient quilt off of my bed. I slowly walked out of my room, making very little noise, checking to see if anyone else was awake. I peeked through the intricate staircase railings and tried to spot anyone downstairs, no one was in sight. I tiptoed down the cream coloured stairs, reached the bottom and got startled when my mom yelled, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”, her voice bouncing off the walls of house. A grin so big spread across my face, I couldn’t believe I was turning four years old!
"Happy Birthday", my mom screamed out and scared me the morning of June 9. But it was surprising and nice of her since she wished me before anyone else. It was my eighteen birthday and it was my day. While looking out the big windows in my room, I thought to myself, I will do what satisfies me today, but wasn't quite sure what? I didn’t receive any calls from my friends, or other relatives. Nobody was home either besides my mom with whom I can’t make plans because she got her own work to do. It depressed me because it seemed like this was going to be one boring eighteen birthday.
It is April 4th. It is my 21 birthday.21 years ago I was born and got named Thea. My mom Emily, dad James, sister Maddison, and brother Liam are coming over to celebrate my birthday. There are a few things I must do before they come.
