Learning something new can be a terrifying experience for many. One of the scariest things I have done was go parasailing on our trip to Destin, Florida. I was always afraid of heights since little, but my mom and her husband was determined to cross this task off of their bucket list. What I didn't realize was that going up would also make me more open to exploring new things. My first time going parasailing I sat on the dock nervously waiting for the instructor and other passengers to come back on the boat we would sail on. A couple of minutes after two men arrived on a boat we were going to board, they were super tan and really cool, and I felt as though they enjoyed their job very much. Although everyone else was older than me who were going to be para-sailing, they didn't seem to actually be afraid of going up in the air and it kind of put me ease once I saw how nonchalant everyone looked. …show more content…
The man (Buddy) explained the rules to us about what to do and what not to do on the boat, and up in the air. We were required to take off our shoes and put any loose items that could fall in the water under our seats. Eventually the boat stopped in the middle of the ocean and Buddy gave the first two passengers, gear to attach them to the parachute that would be going up. Viewing the man and his son go up into the air strikingly smooth helped me relax a little, I thought we were going to just fly up rugged and it would feel like we're on a roller
What comes to mind when you hear the word adventure!!? Well there is a place in Florida that is guaranteed to bring out your inner kid every time you visit. This place is known as universal Orlando Florida. This is a place where you can go on vacation and have fun like never before as you did when you were a kid. On my visit to Orlando I stated at a four-star resort located inside the theme park known as Cabana Bay Beach Resort, also went to universal studios and islands of adventure were I felt like I was a kid again.
		When I was about 10 years old, my mom took me to a roller coaster theme park in Massachusetts. I was terribly afraid of the huge roller coaster that appeared in front of me, and while I waited in line, the anxiety of waiting to die in a roller coaster made my heart beat through my chest.
...held him in the sea that swirled him out and safely over the boat to water in which he could touch. The surviving men were thankful to have survived, but learned that they really had no control over their lives. One of the most important lessons the correspondent took from the experience was, “… that “in the ignorance of the grave-edge” every man is in the same boat, which is not much more substantial than the ten-foot open dinghy on a rough sea” (Buitenhuis, web). Having survived the experience the cook, the correspondent, and the captain each believed that they could be interpreters for the sea. Crane gave each man a voice in “The Open Boat” that is uniquely theirs, but at the same time shared a common bond and struggle with nature for survival. It is up to each man (mankind) to find our own place in the universe and be open to the lessons that life can teach us.
One time I faced a challenge I went ziplining. At first I did not want to do it because I did not want to up that high off the ground. Then one of my friends asked me would you go with me. so I said yes. when I got up there to the top of the stairs. I was really nervous. I wanted to come back down. Then i said to myself you can do it.
The longest I’ve ever lived in one place was the nine years that my family and I lived in
I am adventurous. No I don't sky dive, wrestle crocodiles, or swim with sharks, but when asked by a group of friends to go cliff diving last summer, my best response was, “Sounds like fun!” I had never been afraid of heights yet have never experienced the thrill of cliff diving. All I could ask myself was, “What could go wrong?”
The waves were too much for the crew to overcome, still they attempted one last time to make it to shore as the captain realized the boat would not be able to sustain them for much longer. As they rowed toward the shore, the boat began to sink and all of the crew jumped
Grandpa Albert and i jumped off the cliff with no fear, it was a great experience! Our Upper Michigan trip was our 2017 camping trip, this time my older sister and younger brother came too. We all enjoyed the hike and the ending view. My grandpa had taught me how to enjoy my life much more than I ever thought I could. My Grandpa is such an amazing person that has taught me so much such as loving nature, learning to hunt and face my
I steeled myself for the drop and jumped out. The 35 foot dive was gone in half a second and I was back in the water. This time I knew I could make it. I must scale the rapids. I knew that I could.
When we arrived at the airport, there were about 10 other people. Most of them were men and we were the only couple. Of course the first matter of business was to read and sign a waiver that stated that we would NOT hold the skydiving school liable if our jump turned out to be, shall we say, less than perfect. I must admit that this certainly brought out some of the apprehension that Sivi and I had managed to bury deep inside ourselves.
The place where I would like to call me second home is located all the way down in Savanna Georgia. I can remember way back about nine years ago in the summer of 2008. The plane ride was a long and hot, and I spent the whole ride playing on my PSP. When I got off the plane I remembered walking through the freezing cold Savanna International Airport seeing all the flags of different countries hanging from the ceiling, but then taking one step out of the airport front doors looking for the car services that was rented and feeling the crushing 100°F heat and deathly humidity. But it is all worth the painful heat to spend time in the beautiful city.
The first thing I did when I got on the Titanic was that I went straight to my room to see if it was all worth it. I couldn’t believe my eyes, it was better than I thought it was! It was everything I wanted and more! It had a
To learn and experience something new and out of your norm can be a pretty scary thing, almost like being in a foreign country and not knowing your surroundings; what do you do? You panic! I can remember clearly an event during my childhood, it was one of the hardest thing I've ever had to do, and that was learning how to rock climb. All my friend’s parents would take them to a nearby gym after school. It was a gym for kids and rock climbing was the cool thing to do. I wanted to go so badly and feel cool, just like my friends, but I was always afraid of heights. Never liked heights as a child, and when I was growing up I was left with that fear. One day I decided to face my fears, and thought to myself that rock climbing was an important skill to have under my belt. Also I thought this was a step closer to overcome my fear and rock climbing was the perfect way to get over that fear. I also knew this would be a great experience and will help me become physically and mentally stronger. What I didn’t realize was that learning to rock climb would also boost my self-esteem and to make me believe in myself more. I always felt on edge when I was faced with a new situation. It made me feel uncomfortable and not quite myself, it still does sometimes. But I knew with my very first rock climbing lesson there weren’t any more excuses! I simply had to face my fear and just do it. There was no going back.
We got into our lines, behind groups of excited families and happy little old men and women. As the line ascended up the ramp onto this enormous water vessel, pictures were taken of every group of passengers. Smile, laugh and look happy! Riiight. As a matter of fact, I was pretty anxious. I'd never been on a boat like this, and especially not for a whole week.
New situations always make me a bit nervous, and my first swimming lesson was no exception. After I changed into my bathing suit in the locker room, I stood timidly by the side of the pool waiting for the teacher and other students to show up. After a couple of minutes the teacher came over. She smiled and introduced herself, and two more students joined us. Although they were both older than me, they didn't seem to be embarrassed about not knowing how to swim. I began to feel more at ease.
