V. Support for Body Paragraph One
The first time I got on a plane I was very excited and scared, at the same time. I was eleven yrs old at the time, so it was a very intense couple of hrs for me. When I looked out the window three hrs later, I seen the huge city I was so excited, because when we were leaving Kansas it was or look so tiny from up in the air. Whlie we were landing, my ears started popping. My mom gives me a piece of gum and says to chew it that it will stop the popping,and what do you know it worked.
