Personal Narrative: Blue Water Collide
When you're a kid you would never think of almost dying at sesame place, but that's exactly what happened to me. As my family and I entered the park, my eyes grew with amazement as I looked around me. There were zooming roller coasters, families laughing, toddlers running around with a sugar high from all the cotton candy they ate, and especially the terrifying, enormous, gray and blue water slide, I looked at the slide with fear and excitement in my eyes. I knew right then and there that I was going to go on that slide no matter the consequences. “Mom, Moooooommmm!”, I yelled as I was pulling on the back of her shirt to get her attention. “WHAT ISABELLA!”, she screamed with annoyment in her voice, as if I was doing something wrong. …show more content…
We have to!”, as I pointed to the gigantic blue and grey water slide, my mother's face scrunched up with disgust. For she doesn't like roller coaster nor huge water slides, exactly like this one just yonder. She turned back around and told my brothers and me to put some pep in our step so we can get to the rides, as if she didn't hear a word I just said. As my family moved along, I trudged behind because I knew we weren't going to the enormous water slide. After we went through the park and rode the other little water rides, and roller coasters, and of course the lazy river we decided to call it a day and head home, but since we were on the other half of the park, to walk back we had to pass the huge, terrifying, grey and blue water

    We were ready. Paddles in hand, canoe by our side, personal floatation devices, knee pads, and cameras. The afternoon sun shined on the lake, reflecting it across the calm waters. Crowds of people were enjoying their Sunday afternoon on North Beach at Devil’s Lake State Park. Young children stumbled on the moist sand and shallow waters as they tried to catch tadpoles with their small buckets. Soothing, a gentle breeze passed by as we walked towards the edge of Devil’s Lake. Marveling at the majestic mountain of cedars around the lake and smelling the damp sand, my dad, little sister, and I were all set to take on our first wilderness inquiry; canoeing across a lake. It was safe to say that we were in for an exciting adventure…

    Augustus Waters from The Fault in Our Stars once spoke, "I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes up my friend." At one point in my life, I found this quote to be totally insignificant. Now that I look back on my teenage years, I see it. The rollercoaster only went up from the point I opened my big, fat, attitude infested, mouth to my step-mother, Verona. The take off was bumpy, as well the entire rest of the journey up. Though it did eventually come down, not only going up. I came down an entirely different person and didn't have to think of life as a fictional roller coaster to stay happy.…

    Nearing the end of the tube I can almost see the shore, It feels as if I've been riding this wave for days. This wave is my hurdle in the ocean that is life, choppy at the beginning but slowly passing by. The ocean has many waves, one for each surfer to ride, my specialty wave happened to be dyslexia. It was in the second grade that my teacher first realized I was different from the other students, because I had yet to read my first book. My parents had found this odd as well, and took me to see a neurologist, who diagnosed me as having dyslexia. I did not quite know what this meant at the time, I only knew that it was the reason I could not comprehend the topics as easily as my classmates.…

    As I undo the back of the button to place it on my grey Morris Harvey shirt I take more notice to the button. The button is blue around the outside with a white circle on the inside. In the white circle appears to be a heartbeat that goes from blue to yellow; the yellow part of the heartbeat represent WV. Bellow the heartbeat and entering into the blue is another yellow word reading resist. As I place the pin on my shirt and over my heart I begin to feel as if I am really part of a…

    As we reached the top of the hill, I could see the whole park, from the bumper cars to the merry-go-round. All of a sudden, I feel the gravity shift and the roller coaster is now going down the hill the wind is hitting my face and screams are coming from everywhere. I realize something though, I realize that I’m actually smiling and having fun. I could not stop smiling, being on that roller coaster was probably one of the most thrilling moments of my life. After each hill and turn my excitement grew more until we finally reached the end of the track. After that ride, my mind was blown I could not believe how much fun I’ve missed out all these years. This whole time I was thinking how going on this ride could be detrimental to me, but instead it had a positive effect, I was no longer afraid of roller coasters. After I finally get off of the ride I wanted relive the experience again, so I decided to go back in line and get on The Goliath one more time. I felt really accomplished that day knowing I had finally overcome my biggest fear and couldn’t believe how fun riding a roller coaster could be. To this day I still love riding roller…

    At the beginning of this past summer my family and I decided to go to Branson. While we were there we did Silver Dollar City. We went in after 3 on Sunday and got Monday free because of the deal the park has. On the last day at the park I finally decided that I was going to ride Wildfire; Silver Dollar City’s biggest roller coaster. The reason I finally concluded to ride it was because I did not know the next time that I would get back; I wanted to be able to say I rode it and did not want to regret or always have wished that I would have. As my family and I walked up to ride Wildfire, I had butterflies the whole time. We walked right onto the roller coaster. As we sat down in the seats I clicked in the buckles and pulled my harness down.…

    I put on my shoes, grab my new surfboard that I got for my birthday, and jump in the car. It was still very early in the morning the sun was still behind the clouds and the wind was so cold that it made me shiver. My best friend Ryan is driving the car, Jesse and Jen are sitting behind us, Kanye West’s music is playing loud in the car almost making my ears hurt. I have to admit I feel nervous, maybe I am not ready to go into the water after the accident. But I feel excited at the same time, I feel so much better and I think that it is about time to go into the deep water again. The car ride is silent, probably because everyone is still tired. But Ryan breaks the silence by making a joke "how do people surfing say HI to each other? he answers saying "they Wave!"…

As my family and I pulled into the colossal amusement park, I could see it, the largest roller coaster I've seen in my life. From a distance it looked like a giant knot, tied with green strings, raised hundreds of feet off the ground. I baged,"Mom, let's do that one first!"…

    Being in a boat is a place of comfort for me. I love being out on the water, pushing all my troubles aside and focusing on one thing, rowing. In the water near the Port of Redwood City is where I spend countless hours a week. I began rowing about a year ago and at the time, being out on the water used to be an unfamiliar environment for me. I remember my first ever practice on the water, I almost panicked as being encircled by water made me uneasy. Since then, I have grown to love to water and to feel contented while on it.…

But all I saw was two large buildings and lots of people.…

    I leaned away from my mother as her hand gently pulled me forward. I didn’t want to. It was an enormous metal trap that was sure to send me to my doom. In my four year old eyes, roller coasters were the fuel of my nightmares. I wasn’t afraid of clowns with pasty makeup and cold, dead eyes, no. I wasn’t afraid of monsters with razor sharp teeth and claws like a lion. No, me, I was afraid of roller coasters. The rolling cart with only a bar to hold me in was terrifying. What if-- what if I slipped out? What if I hit my head on an overhead track? What if I suddenly spontaneously combusted due to fear? All these thoughts were running through my young mind as we approached the roller coaster. I read the sign - “Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster.” Are they going…
