My Hero's Journey-Personal Narrative

We were walking and then we stopped at the ride called “Boomerang”. The ride was another roller coaster. I begged my dad not to go on the ride because he said let’s go on the ride. Unfortunately, I gave up begging him and he we went in line. The good thing is that the line wasn’t really long. After waiting for twenty minutes, we finally got on the ride. I looked around and was frighten. I knew the ride would first turn forward and then backwards. The ride started and I screamed. The ride wasn’t as bad as “Medusa” which is a good thing. After the ride was done, I was happy to get off the ride.I thought the ride was actually really fun and I loved it.

The summers of 2013, I went to Cedar Point. It was me, my brother, my mom, dad, and my dad’s friend. My dad said, “we are going to get on all of us the roller coasters” and the rest of us said “ok.”

Then That's when the anxiety kicked in. As the creaky cart started to go up the tracks creek creek as the cart went up. I kept my eyes open as I watched us go up. Once we reached the top I could see the beautiful day and the bright white clouds and the… aww as the cart went down, the cart was going so fast It was like I was flying a 100 miles per hour. All I could hear were screams of everyone and myself but mostly myself. Once we went down the big drop it was not that bad, I couldn't believe that I survived the drop that was normally the part I cried on. After the big drop we went in a big circle as it headed for the little drop we went down in the big circle as I had my hands up feeling free like a bird. Then the little drop hit you could hear the cart starting to speed up on the tracks again and I said “woh” and then the cart started slowing down again as we reached the station. We all clapped and said We SURVIVED! Once we exited the cart with are legs numb from all that excitement and impact we headed down to get some drinks and to discuss which to ride next, and that was the time I survived Six

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

As soon as I looked up, I felt sick, the structure and ride was so big. I didn’t know that I could do it, but I had to, I couldn’t chicken out in front my Dad. After all I already told him I would go. We walked into Space Mountain, there were lights everywhere we looked. I started to jump up and down, I started to get excited for once about a roller coaster, I felt so proud of myself, I would actually get a chance to ride a roller coaster again! I felt scared, and I also felt so happy and proud of myself at the same time. My Mom and brother chickened out on going, so I felt so alive, and mature to be riding such a big ride. I looked at the line, there were no people, we were early! “Come on Daddy, there are more people coming behind us!” Behind me and my dad, were a big group of people walking in, we wanted first in front of the, so I ran and dashed through the aisle, the lights lit up

The moment I believed would mark one of the best summer day of my life. As I got on the ride I slowly buckled up and my hands immediately grabbed on tightly the metal harness. While waiting on the people to start the machine I was closing my eyes and imaging how it would feel. Suddenly my feet were off the ground and I found myself looking up. At first I did not dare look down, for I thought I would start panicking. I quickly looked down and saw lights then looked back up. While it arrived to the highest point I said “This is a precious moment in your life, just take the time to look at the beauty in front of you.” I started to look down and got to see the whole park. It was like seeing Christmas lights, it was bright with different colors. Instantaneously the ride dropped, I felt as if my heart was going to come out of my body. I screamed so hard that I could feel my veins in my head accumulating the blood from the pressure of the ride and from me screaming. It stopped half way and it took us up again. This time it did not go all the way, but it slowly went up and once again it quickly went down. At the end of the ride, as my feet touched the ground I was so thankful to God that I made it through without having a heart attack or panic

As much as I hated to admit it later, Carter was right; I was fearless to go on most of the other rides we visited that day. And I did have a lot of fun. Although I was a bit peeved that Carter lied to me, I accept that he did have my best interests at heart. I can’t be scared of roller coasters my whole life, and I certainly can’t be scared to try new

A pleasant summer's sun and the view of a 200 foot roller coaster filled my eyes. I've never been so frightened in my life. Roller coasters bring out a fear deep inside of me that cannot be explained. The only thing keeping me there was the painful gazes and badinage of my friends. They saw my winces, an obstacle that would not deter them from forcing me upon this machine. I couldn't even imagine the horrors that lie behind that seatbelt but I knew that I would find out. As I boarded the roller coaster, fear set in and excitement struck me as I realized I was with my family.

Well during the ride I went all the way up and zooped down and this is how I felt, when I rode the roller coaster I was for sure I was going to fall to my doom. I didn't give up on the sight of that thing but I rode it anyway. My mom rode the roller coaster with me she gave up because after the ride she felt really sick. I also had help from my dad who drove us to Magic Springs.

I was the happiest kid in the world. Every other thought I had was about the upcoming vacation that I was going on. I could not get my mind off of it, no matter how hard I tried. The drive was extremely long, but when we got there I thought it would all be worth it. You could see the roller coasters from the road. They were way bigger than they were in the pictures, just looking at them gave me butterflies. We got through the front gates, which is when my excitement hit an all-time high. There were so many people everywhere, and the size of the roller coasters made me feel like an ant. It was so hard to believe that I was finally here, and moments away from riding my first roller coaster. The crowds were unreal, and the environment was electrifying. We looked at the map they gave us, then we decided which one to go on first. We were on our way to the Mamba, one of the fastest roller coasters in the country. I was so excited, and my adrenaline was pumping so much that I could not stay still the entire time we were in

strength to go on the ride while walking to the ride i felt butterflies in my stomach

My friend and I have been just about to drop on a roller coaster nervous, hands in the air, then all of the… It was a day of excitement waiting to get in, “It time!” My friend said as we darted running with laughter.

It was later in the day, the sky blue as the ocean the yellowish sun shining down on us when we saw the ride and I thought of the vow instantly when I saw the mine train ride, my parents kept walking but me and my sister, Carolyn who is 4 years older than me stopped then and asked if we could go on it. My mom really wanted to see the fireworks which came in a couple hours and my dad is not that kind of a roller coaster person so she said “No”. My mom finally said fine after me and my sister pleaded for a few minutes. My dad decided

After the two and a half hour drive to Great America Amusement Park in Santa Clara, we arrived. The car ride went by way too fast. In my head, I was terrified, but I thought I did a decent job of hiding it. In the car ride we talked, played games, laughed, and listened to music. All of this was so much fun but in the back of my head, I knew that my fate was drawing near. After we parked, we grabbed all of our stuff for the day and went into the park. As soon as we walked into the park, there was the grand gate, where we took a picture. Then we continued to walk towards the map to see which ride we would go on first. The whole group chose Patriot, a short but screaming fast ride with two loops. I was petrified, I definitely did not want to do this, but I mumbled out “ok, let's do it.” After that we hustled over to the entrance and walked up the steps. Walking up the steps felt like an eternity. Then we got to the ride, strapped in, and took off…

To this day, my dad still hasn’t paid up. I am very thankful my dad and friends finally convinced me to get on the ride. After that one ride, I ended up doing all the rides in the park that day. That one ride completely took away all my fear of roller coasters, but I do still have a solid fear of heights. I feel so good being able to do any ride someone doesn’t think I’ll do.
