One time I showed courage was probably the first time I went to camp Awana. Two years ago, my class took a field trip for Two days to camp Awana. Once we dumped our stuff of at our tents, my class and I went to rest a little outside in a nearby field. After that, we then headed to our first activity, the Flying Fox (da da da daaaa!)
When I first saw the flying fox (even though I knew there were safety harnesses) I was scared to death because it was so long and high. We all got in a line with me at the back and some of my friends in the front. At first, they were actually scared too, but after the first turn, they all wanted to go again. Before I decideed to sit this one out one of my friends urged me to go up and try it, so he dragged me up to the top of the tall hill and left me waiting in a line at the top of the hill.
When it was my turn, I almost peed my pants. The Flying Fox harness was to high so I had to stand on a plastic chair to attach the harness. Suddenly a wave of worry swept over me as I thought about crazy things that could have happened during the trip down like the harness snapping or crashing into the place where we should have gotten off. Then the Flying Fox helper pushed me off. I sped down the zip-line feeling the wind against my face but I was slow enough to see the scenery around me. I could see why my friends all wanted to go again. When I finnaly got down, my friend gave me an 'I told you so' look, I just shrugged and ran back up the hill. By the end of the day, I was tired from zip-lining over and over again and thought how much fun I had today. Tomorrow, however, I had to go absailing in another part of the camp, but that is another story...
Viet I liked how you really described every moment with detail. I felt like I was you. My favourite part was when you described how scared you were For Example "When it was my turn, I almost peed my pants". Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Harjot, the part about you were on the edge of peeing in your pants, I think it is a creative way of saying you were really scared. This blog post reminded me of the time i was on a flying fox in Guiling! This was a almost perfect blog post, I just think you should have changed the beginning of your introduction to something else, the phrase"One time I showed my courage"is appearing on alot of people's posts,otherwise, Great Job!
ReplyDeleteYou wrote this well, Viet.
