On Friday, August 18, 2017, I had a single day that will be remembered forever. Joe, his mom, and I went to an open gym for gymnastics and parkour to have some fun on friday. I enjoy jumping inside when it's cold outside.When it is warm outside, we jump at an outdoor park. The pizza near the entrance reminded me how hungry I was, so we ate before we jumped. Joe, can you please pass me the pizza? I looked above the door as we walked in the big factory with all the mats and trampolines, and it said, Youngstown Ohio, USA. I love jumping here, but I do not know many awesome tricks like the others. But finally, I was about to do a hard trick today. Besides today, I thought before, that I would not be able to ever complete it. But since I was here learning other stuff, I could not wait to learn an advanced trick. I woke up at 5:00 today, and I could not go back to sleep because I was so excited. The event all was in a single moment. It went by so fast; so the brain did not have the time to realize what your body was even doing. I was jumping on a trampoline at first while they were all nudging me to go to the rail above the drop. Joe, who is already jumping off the huge …show more content…
I had listened my friend who had accomplished this trick to my left say, “Just do what you already know how to do. It’ll work”. “If you fail, at least you tried, and you can correct yourself the next time.” I thought in my mind. At that moment they all started to count backwards from three to one but it seemed like it was 10,000 to 1. I turned around but didn’t walk away. I was getting ready to jump. While they were counting, it was almost like the time slowed down so I could concentrate on what I was doing. THREE! My legs were Jell-O and they started to wobble. I was thinking about all the science and technique in the flip. TWO! They all were hyped and moving around me. I snapped back into the real world and then all of a
My leg bounced wildly. I had every nail on my hand bit down until they were almost bleeding. I had drank three Pepsi's and eaten two candy bars just for something to do, and we had only been waiting an hour. Sixty minutes of pure torture, not knowing what was wrong with my baby brother or if he was going to be okay.
Freeze. So far, the crowd seemed silent; they just casually watched me mess around as if I was making a fool of myself, for it looked so simple to them. After some more dance steps, I jumped onto my right forearm and split my legs in the air above my head. Freeze - Number Two -.. The hard-to-please crowd gave little response.
It’s September of 2009, the semi-truck is sitting outside with all of our belongings in it, like an airplane waiting to take us away. Today is gloomy and raining as usual, but I know I’m going to miss it. The sun has started going down; we all get into the vehicles we’re designated. Me, my Dad, and Jade our Boxer into the truck, Mom Jaycee and the other animals into the car, and my Aunt Tina and Grandma into their suburban. It’s bitter sweet, I am so excited to go to a new city, new state, new everything, but I’m leaving behind everyone I grew up with. My closest friends who thought I was funny, not weird. Who I consider my brother, Daniel, and my mom’s side of the family all left behind. We begin driving, the truck brakes releasing
I can simply recall the best and absolute best day ever that I had when I was nine years of age. On August seventh, 2007 my ninth day of inception celebration is the thing that has turned this exact day into my most memorable recollection. The day preceding
That Thursday, I was having a great day; I cleaned the house, did a little shopping, and was just generally enjoying myself. That night, I picked my mother up from work,
Thankfully, as I reached 15, my chute opened. Oh, what a beautiful sight.. I continued to watch my parachute unfold and soon it "jerked" me upwards. Now I knew that everything would be all right.
I could feel my tiny feet embrace my family 's short, dirty brown carpet. The cool air tickled my skin to form goosebumps. My eyes took in the yellow-white paint that was peeling off at the base of the floor. It was dark outside, but the lamp light was on. My eyes wandered to my mother 's face, with her eyebrows squished together. I thought she 's mad or worried. Her warm and big hands were on my shoulders. I can faintly smell her sweet shampoo. She parted her lips and said, "We are going to a new home. I want you to go pack your stuff." She ushered me upstairs. My confusion turned into pure joy. This was the best day ever! Have you ever had the feeling of your heart being crushed while your stomach constricted and turn from
As a child I always dreamt of being able to do many different kinds of flips. When I would close my eyes I saw my future self running on the football field flipping over every defensive player that tried to tackle me. I would run into the in zone with some epic final flip for the touchdown and the crowd would go wild. Okay let's get back to reality here.
It was the morning of September 11, 2001 in New Jersey. I got up brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, and throw on some clothes. As I walk out the door I grab my bags, kiss my sleeping husband and my kids, and out the door I go. I walk outside smelling the nice fresh air and tell myself “today is going to be a day to remember.” I jump in the car and off I go to the airport happier then ever.
and I ended up landing on my knees. And I was right, I did it one time and I wasn't scared to keep trying until I landed it. I was so happy I couldn't even believe I was actually on my way to learning how to do it flat on the ground but that is still a thousand times
Two days after my 11th birthday, two days after my first season of cheerleading, Sunday, November 21, 2010 was the day everything changed. My life took a sharp turn as I jumped on our new tire swing. Almost all of my family and my best friend came over my house for my birthday celebration. The music was blaring, smiles appeared on everyone's faces, the rooms were filled with laughter and gifts. All the kids were running and and having a blast in the yard playing freeze tag, drawing on the driveway with chalk, shooting hoops or on the tire swing.
Or is it me shaking? I finally sit down and they tell me to look back so they can take a ...picture?! Who has time to take a picture while my legs are dangling of the edge of a 20ft tall wooden shaky tower?! I feel like my heart is in my stomach! Crying?
All human beings, no matter the age, experience feelings of helplessness. There are times in our lives where we are forced through changes against our will, and we are forced to accept circumstances. In these situations, we have to look inward to fully understand our reactions. We can gain new insights if we are willing to take a second look at the ideas and thoughts that come to us in the form of dreams. For children, when there are changes in their parents’ lives, the children are forced to change with them, whether they are ready to or not.
I have never circled something so quickly before. I was finally going to be a gymnast, and I knew that I had to start preparing as soon as I could. The summer before walking into Rolling Meadows High School as a freshman, I did a lot of handstands at home. Sometimes I would ty to hold the handstands for a minute without leaning on the wall. I was scared of kicking up too hard and landing on my back at first, but I had already landed on my back and falling was not that bad. By the time the school year began, I was no longer afraid to push my kick-ups harder knowing that even if I pushed too hard, I would get back up and try
Throughout life I have had many memorable events. The memorable times in my life vary from being the worst times in my life and some being the best, either way they have become milestones that will be remembered forever. The best day of my life was definitely the day that I received my drivers’ license. This day is one of the most memorable because of the feelings I had when I received it, the opportunities that were opened up for me and the long lasting benefits that I received from it that still exist today.
