Roller coasters

My life thus far is analogous to the cliché rollercoaster. Rather fortunately, my rollercoaster is a unique one. I am in control; I am the one who decides if my life is spinning wildly, climbing to incredible heights, or darting down at an alarming rate. The world I come from is a world I have created. In this world, I decide where I want to go and what I want to accomplish; I lay the tracks. The figurative rollercoaster is comprised of parts: my childhood, my middle school life, and my current high

going to six flags one day we were going to this place called six flags. It was a sunny day that day we left from our house about 5:00 that morning but we were staying there for the weekend at my friends grandparents house in Atlanta. My mom and my two brothers were with us driving and my friend his hole family was following us when we went down their. And we all couldn't wait to get down their but i’m sometimes nervous to go down big rollercoasters but I didn't know that they were going to be that

I was at my cousin’s birthday party at a trampoline park. One of the activities I could do was ride a mechanical bull. I had always wanted to try one, but I had never had the opportunity. My sister suddenly said, “What are the odds you ride the bull?”. She counted down, “One, two, three”, and like it was fate, we both said fourteen. It turns out I have a hidden talent for bull riding; I broke the monthly record on the hardest level with a time of thirty seven seconds. Throughout my life, I’ve always

In my new position, how soon I was to report for work depended on the day, but I was rarely required to be there earlier than an hour before doors except on opening day. On that day, I helped Joan transform the tall, wheeled box into a wide novelty stand with a long front table, and a tall three-sectioned back stuffed to the gills with brightly colored toys and posters. Giant pink elephants and other vinyl required inflation before being attached to dowels with a rubber band. I was most thankful

As my sister Beth and I raced to get our tickets for the Hudsonville Fair, I saw the ride that we were heading to. It was the largest one there and I couldn’t wait to go on it. It was called Freak Out and I knew it was about to be my favorite one. After we received our yellow wristbands, we ran to get in line. As we approached, we saw there was no one else waiting. We ran through the vacant waiting area and went up the steps. After the man allowed us on, we waited a bit for other people to possibly

The Rollercoaster “Ooooh, it’s a rollercoaster. Let’s go!” My brother teased. “NOPE!” I screamed. Uhg! Who in their right mind likes rollercoasters? Am I Right? The reason I got this fear is because rollercoasters went upside down, spinning, and even just going really fast. I just can’t handle rollercoasters. One day I went to a theme park and I saw a rollercoaster. I wanted to run away screaming but I couldn’t. I’m not sure if it’s because I want to get rid of my fear. Or if it’s because I was

Rollercoasters date back as far as the 16th century in Russia. As shown in Figure 1, 20-metre high slopes were used to send sledders down, giving the sledder a sense of excitement and adrenaline rush (A.C.E, 2018). The public wanted more thrills like this, so the first official rollercoaster was created. In 1884 the ‘Gravity Switchback Railway’ was open to the public and was a huge success, leading to the many inventions and variations of rollercoasters that we see today (A.C.E, 2018). The Gravity

Emma Swan always had it with herself and her emotional roller coaster. Foster care when she was little, stealing during pregnancy with Neal (her boyfriend/father of baby), going to prison. She also gave up her son, then she found him 10 years later, later she found her biological family, and had a sad life of having all her boyfriends dead. It never ended for Emma, she thought that everything that happened to her was because she was cursed. Why does she out of all the people in the world had to have

Let me tell you about a day that I had! It was one of those emotional roller coaster-type deals. By the end of the day, I was drained physically and emotionally. I didn 't know if I was coming or going, I was a total wreck. Some things I 'm used to happenin’ but when foolishness gets involved; well, that 's when the shit hits the fan. What I hate the most is when someone throws something back in your face, after choosing not to listen. But what puts the icing on the cake is hearing those four
