I believe life is like a roller coaster. From the moment you are born, to the last breath you breathe; you are on this crazy ride called Life. Life has an up-hill climb, ups and downs, it’s fun and terrifying moments, and those parts where you want to scream because of the thrill or throw up because of the fear. But, either way you look at it, once the ride is over, I am certain we would all beg to get one more ride. Therefore, I compare my life to a roller coaster ride. At the start of my roller coaster ride, it begins with a long up-hill climb. This is the beginning of my life; the day I was born (December fourteenth nineteen ninety-nine). This is the part where everything is simple and my parents are always there every step of the way to catch me if I fall. This is the stage where I learned how to walk …show more content…
I began to see the twists and turns up ahead. This is the part where I began to find out who I am and how hard and unfair life really is. This stage started when I turned fifteen and seems to still be continuing. For me, I found out the type of person I am with the friends I hang out with. I figured out that I am a very fearless and I like to live everyday as if it were my last. This age is a very tough age, or so everyone says. You try to fit in with the popular crowd in school, you try to make good grades while balancing what seems like seventy-five other things going on in your life, and you try to do everything and spend time with every one of your friends, because it is your senior year. Plus, you have homework and projects as tall as skyscrapers piled up at home. By this point, on the roller coaster ride, I feel as though I am out of breath and I cannot scream. I think to yourself, “There is no way on earth I am going to make it through this without passing out”, but then I know I will make it through the tough part of my roller coaster ride. Then, I see the fun part of the roller
Life is a series of experiences in which each one of us grows into the individual we are now. Every move, each word and thought shapes our person.
Ride called life is a poem written by an anonymous writer about how life's a ride of emotions and feelings and how they change and move like a ride, and I think this poem does a good job of representing theses ideas through repetition and a simple format, I chose this poem because it is about something deep and it made you think because of the way it is written and the content of the poem. The poem tries to create a sense of you being on a roller coaster yourself but one of emotions, sad feelings, happy ones, serious, and not so serious, but they are all represented in the poem along with the feeling that your ride should never stop early but they all stop in the same way, the writer didn't use any rhymes in their poem probably to represent
...ademic hardships. Even though I lost so much during junior year, I was unaware of the fact that secretly I was actually gaining a great deal of life experiences and real-life lessons for the future. Quite honestly I feel lucky. I feel lucky that I matured early in life; with this new maturity I feel I can accomplish anything. I feel I can make a positive difference in this world. I feel like this experience will be the primary step in my success, in terms of my career, and in the launch of my Children in Need campaigns in third world countries. I feel like the young superman who just learned how to fly, slightly aware of his magnificent impact towards the world. In short, I feel junior year provided foundation for the more mature and adult chapters of my life, and without the numerous obstacles of junior year, I would never gained the key to a successful future.
Have you ever felt the rushing wind on your face while spiraling through the air? Well if so, then you have probably been on a roller coaster. This October was the first time that I have been on a roller coaster. Traveling with a group of friends, went to the Haunt Night at Worlds of Fun. It was quite an thrilling experience. There were zombies and goblins prowling around, waiting to give you a scare. When we were on our way I was nervous, but excited. As we all trudged up, Keeshawn, Paige, Makenna, Cooper, Katie, and I went to the first ride, The Patriot.
We’re both looking at the top of the roller coaster track begging and pleading that we be taken off. “I don’t want to ride, somebody get me off!” My life had flashed before my eyes as well as my best friends. We began to tell each other that we loved one another. Before we knew it we were at the top of the roller coaster looking down at all of the people who were walking around still living and breathing enjoying funnel cakes, turkey legs and ice cream. As for us at the top of the ride were having panic attacks and screaming as loud as we could but no one seemed to hear us. We were getting ready to have the ride of our lives.
There are many metaphors concerning the nature of life; and, considering that life is multifaceted, metaphors will address different aspects of an individual’s time on this earth. For example, the quote- “Life is a journey, not a destination” compares life to a process, not a goal. Others will associate life with a box of chocolates- “You never know what you’re going to get.” Life, in this mindset, is not a controllable series of events in the immediate vicinity of a person, but a much larger scene in which each human takes a small part.
The bus that took us to the Theme Park was huge, with room for a
My palms were sweating, my heart was racing, I had no idea what to expect or who I was going to meet. I was never the type of girl to embrace new situations, I hated change and I wasn’t very good with meeting new people. I figured once I got to high school it would be my chance to start all over, turn the page in my book of life, and flip over a new leaf. I wanted to finally be the girl that fit in with everyone. I had imagined myself going to parties with big groups of my new friends, having sleepovers and doing all of the things cool high school kids normally do. I was certain that my high school career would be just like one of those really corny teen movies and I would live happily ever after with the homecoming crown and the boy of my dreams. I don’t think I could have been any further from the actual truth. Things don’t always turn out how they are planned and my high school dreams definitely did not live up to my high expectations.
The last couple of years have been a long bumpy ride for me, as they have for everyone my age. No matter what, everyone has experienced many of the same "teenage" circumstances as I have and has dealt with them in their own way. As a personal participant in this "game", we call life, I would say I worked hard for and earned first place. That is just my creative view on things. Too bad, not everyone sees it in the same light as I do.
Have you ever been on a roller coaster.? Well I have. Roller coasters are fun and scary at the same time. It’s like your heart drops to your feet and your chest comes up to your throat. That feeling is awesome.! Have you ever ridden the furry 365 at carowinds? That is an insane roller coaster. I bet you haven’t ridden the tennessee tornado.? I rode it with my dad it was fun and scary at the same time. On the roller coaster you go from loop to loop. There are at least three loops in the whole track all spread out. But it is fun anyway, in fact it is so fun that you will want to ride it over and over again. I hope you get to ride the fire express. It is in tennessee. My dad,my brother,and I all rode the fire express together and had A good time.
As soon as the cart reached the top of the tracks I knew we were in for a long bumpy ride. The cart descended, I gritted my teeth and pushed my legs against the seat in front of me to brace myself. I'm screaming now, this is my first roller coaster, I do not know what to expect. All I could see was my life flashing in front of my eyes and the moment just before I decided to jump onto this roller coaster of death.
As young girl with big dreams I imagined my senior year of high school to be one of the best years of my life. I imagined going to homecoming with all of my friends, being the captain of the varsity soccer and cheerleading teams, going to Friday night football games, going to Prom with my perfect date, and going on a senior trip with all of my best friends. I never imagined my senior year to be the way that it is. I am the new kid.
At this point Joy and Sadness had reached their lowest point in the pit of forgotten memories, and now with the help of a friend they are out of that dark place. The two emotions are on their way back up to headquarter; back to their normal life. That is where I was junior year. The problems in my life were being resolved and I had reconnected with my friends. Junior year was going great! All of my classes were going well and I had even raised my overall grade point average. I believe this is the point in my life where I just really opened up. I became a ton my social and expressive. The biggest thing I overcame that year was learning to stand up for myself and not take as much crap from others. I had always allowed myself to be pushed around by my peers and I would do anything to just make people like me. Now, I don’t really care a whole lot if people like me; I’m going to express my opinion on a topic whatever it may be. Also I tried to separate myself from the people in my life who made me feel miserable and lowered my self esteem. I grew so much mentally, and it really has helped me with knowing who my real friends are and where I
Being a teenager isn’t easy. You have a lot of things on your mind, a lot of things to worry about, a lot of things to carry, and when I mean carry, I mean both physically and mentally. During the 17 years of my life that I have lived so far, I believe that I have never carried this much before. Part of it, I think, is because it’s senior year. Actually, I think that’s the biggest reason why I feel so much pressure on my shoulders.
People could say that my life is similar to that of a car ride; where there are bumps in the road that can or cannot be avoided; when there are times when the car ride is rough or smooth; when it is lonely or populated with loved ones; and how the car will keep going at different speeds until it has run out of gas. My life has been filled with its typical ups and downs, excitements and fears, and its fair share of accomplishments and failures. I come from a world that I did not want to be a part of, but looking back on it now, I feel that the events I experienced in my past have shaped me into who I am today.
