...moments in my life. A triumph can be defined as a great victory or achievement. A major triumph that occurred in my life at a young age is learning to ride a bicycle. It was not only a new way to have fun but much more. It's a way I face any challenge life throws my way. I can still remember it like it was yesterday.

...“Ahhh!”screamed the other people on the ride. As I neared the line of the roller coaster I could see the terrifying dips and turns on the ride. Once I did, I regretted stepping in the line, but I came to Adventure Land for a reason. So I decided to suck it up and ride the first roller coaster of my life. Nearing the front of the line I could feel my nerves tingle and my fear of heights sink in. It was the last day of school and all the eighth graders had to wake up and go to school at 6:00 in the morning. On that wet and foggy day the farther we rode in a bus, then the sun slowly began to rise. With our meals packed and ready for the day the trip was pretty tiresome as well as boring since it was so early in the morning. As we neared Adventure Land we were handed entrance tickets to enter the park. Setting off to have fun with a buddy of our choosing; I picked one of my good friends Jacob Wenger. Eventually meeting up with some of our other friends to make the day even more fun....

...In my lifetime, I've always loved to go on rides. Whether it's from amusement parks to rides in the mall I just loved them. Lots of people get scared or terrified about going on one but it never bothered me about going. I've had some of my best memories spent with roller coasters. But, there came a day when I found out about Kingda ka. Never in my life have I went on a ride like that one. Never in my life have I been this scared to go on a ride. I'm not gonna lie, I was so scared. It's such a high roller coaster and I dared myself to go on it with my dad. This ride has a max speed of 128mph and a height of 456’. I knew that I wasn’t the only one scared to go on the ride. I looked at my dad and he was perfectly fine. I was trying to make him...

...of my day, they just get me so pumped. It makes me sad that the children are disappointed with the rides, so I want to send my apologies to all the children. I'm sorry kid, but you just cannot ride on a canoe by yourself, your like 3 ½ feet tall. Also I am sorry that the carousel is just so terrible, it goes too slow, the music is annoying and there's only horses; I promise I am trying my best to change it. Working at Coney Island has been completely life changing. My favorite thing about Coney has by...

...My favorite summer vacation was when my Father took me to Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. What made it even more memorable was the fact that it was my very first time on an airplane. I cannot recall another time in my life when I experienced so much joy. That trip to Universal Studios was the first time my Father and I actually did something together, just the two of us and was something brought me close to my Father. In this essay I will tell you about my plane ride over there, what I did right when I got there, and about my time at Universal Studios. I can still remember how excited I was before take off, I mean it felt like forever while we sat in the plane waiting to take off. Just all the anticipation that was inside of me had just made the wait even longer for me. Finally, I heard the pilot say 'prepare for take off'. When I heard those words I was so overjoyed I could hardly contain myself. That rush I got once the plane took off was an experience like no other. The plane ride was about hours long and I enjoyed every minute of it. Little did I know, that was less than half of the fun I was going to have at Orlando. After we got off the airplane, we rented a car and drove to my Uncle Joe?s house. We finally got there and then we all went out to eat dinner. We went to some Italian restraunt and boy was it good. To this day, I have never tasted anything as good as the Veal Picata I had that day. I ate...

...Imagine you are on a roller coaster full of strangers. You are all waiting for the worker to say “Enjoy the ride!”, so the ride can start. Only knowing that you are going 157 feet in the air just to experience one of the world’s steepest drops. I never thought that I would conform to something that involved a 79 degree drop. It all started when Hailey, my best friend who I consider my sister, asked if I wanted to go to Six Flags over Texas with her. I asked my parents as soon as I saw them . My heart was pounding. I was afraid they were going to say no, and I really wanted to go. It took them awhile, but they eventually said yes. I was ecstatic! I prepare all my things I needed for Six Flags. All I had to do now was wait for the following day to arrive, And I would be on my way to a day full of adventure and fun at Six Flags....

...and saw the biggest ride in the amusentpark “Shivering timbers”. I was with my cousins and my sister going to michigan adventures the second time in my life. The first time I was only 8 so i couldn't even go on all the good rides, but this time I was 11 and could go on way more rides this time which rocked.

When we got done parking, we entered out the doors of our car and started our way to the entrance. Midway there I told my cousins and my sister “Im probably not gonna go on the ride…. Shivering...

...I wish my nerves went away but it didn't help, there was no going back,as I stood before the tall water tube which seem to go as high as the heavens, I lay exhausted as I reached the top. It was nothing that I expected….People climbed into the tubes and the floor beneath you drops. I Just wanted to get to the ground softly. It was my second time going to six flags,And I was astonished that the park changed a lot and with a few new rides. Me,my two sisters and my older brother decided that we save the best rides for last. We went to the “Whizzer” and had to wait in line that seemed an eternity of waiting. Once we got to the roller coaster It just spewed off. I was the only one who screamed at the top of my lungs. We went high up in the air...

...I don’t know how I had gotten myself in such a horrible situation, but I remember walking slowly to the giant rollercoaster, hearing my mother shouting to me to hurry up. I had always wanted to do exciting and thrilling things in life, but the closer I got to those things, I realized they weren’t going to be easy. It all started when me, my mom, and her friend were driving around town to find something fun to do when we all noticed a colorful Ferris wheel, and a few rollercoasters, so we decided to see what was going on. We ended up finding a mini fair and decided to go and have fun. We went up to the ticket booth to buy the most expensive tickets I have ever seen and decided to watch each ride to see what they were like. There was one ride...

...old girl, my dreams did come true. One can never expect the sights and sounds that emanate from this massively giant unknown world I was about to enter. As I walked past the statue of Walt Disney and Mickey Mouse and through the walkway of Cinderella’s castle, I could feel my heart pounding in my ears as if a bass drum was my brain and being pounded with excitement. Going back as a nineteen year old was just as exciting. In some ways it was better. I felt like a little girl again. I was able to remember a lot more. The scenery was much the same. The flower bed of Mickey’s face was just as beautiful as I remembered it to be. The crowds and the heat were about the same although I don’t remember it ever feeling like I was in a 105 degree sauna all day long. Both times that I went to Disneyland, I felt like royalty. I felt as if nothing in the world mattered except that I was with my family and I was having the time of my life. I don’t remember not liking any of the rides except Its A Small World. I couldn’t stand it. It is about a thirteen minute ride and I wanted to get off after the first five minutes. Being tall for my seven year old age, my knees hit the seat in front of me and I felt like I was being scrunched into the fetal position, with my knees up to my chest making it hard to breathe. The ride played the same music over and over again in different languages. It got extremely annoying after the second time. I was forced to ride it again at nineteen with my little brother...

...in and the lights were starting to come on and everything around me reminded me of Vegas. “Mya, Jessica wants to know if you will go with her on that one.” My seven year old brother pointed, in the direction of where one the biggest rides where. His smile was mostly silver but he was a cubby cheary always seen things half full kind of kid. I myself could never get over how dark he was, his hair his tan skin, his eyes he definitely had gotten more mexican than I but this is besides the point. I can never remember the name of the ride for the life of me. “What one Noah? Your pointing at like five different rides.”I told him “That one, Amaya the one with the ball that shoots you up in the air.” He was more specific this...

...from inside my house. It was summer. Mid July. I was so bored this summer. I played video games, played at the park, and chilled with some friends. This summer wasn't anything special. I was so bored I actually cleaned up my room. I moved around things brought in a new dresser. After that i didn’t know what else to do to keep myself occupied. I asked a couple friends to come over and they did. We played games, went to the park, bought some snacks at the store. They spent the night at my house. In the morning they left early. Then here I was bored with nothing to do. What could I possibly do? I was thinking and thinking about stuff i could do. I thought about going somewhere, like to Vegas or something. Then I thought about going to an amusement park. I wasn’t the biggest roller coaster fan but I did like the thrill. I asked “Hey dad Can we go to Disneyland or something because I’m really bored.” He said, “I’ll think about it, but if we did it would have to be next week on Friday when i get paid.” I said agreeingly,” Ok sounds awesome.” I went through the week doing random things such as watching tv, doing chores, moving around my room, and other things....
