One evening back in high school‚ I was waiting for my friend‚ Chelsea‚ to give me a ride to cheerleading practice. I was only fifteen and did not have a car‚ or even a driver’s license. When she arrived at my house in town‚ I climbed into her 1991 Chevrolet Monte Carlo‚ and we were on our way.

Everybody loves a roller coaster‚ even if they can scare us to death. However‚ not many people study and analyze roller coasters. Fortunately‚ I am one of those people.

That may be true‚ but no one ever tells you how many ups or downs you’re going to have or the fact that you’re getting on that roller coaster completely blind‚ unknowing to the many inevitable obstacles and loops you’ll go through.
