My Experience at the Adrenalin Forest
In this certain place, we are all to finish some, if not all of the courses that was all very high up. The problem was, I have the worst fear of heights ever since I was young, why would that be okay? And I’m also really short that's why I already knew that I can’t do the courses with smooth sailing to the finish line.It was also really hard for me to grab the safety thingy to connect and disconnect from the wires. At first I was really excited when we got the note saying, we were going to this place, because I found out that I was going with my friends. I got as nervous as a long-tailed cat when we got to our destination because I didn't actually know what Adrenalin forest was until we got there and that there were going to be lots of obstacles. I was shaking the whole time, I was like a scared chicken during my whole journey there. There was this one time when I tried to think in my head, hesitating if I should continue finishing the courses or just ask one of the forest’s staff to rescue me. As in rescue, because it felt like I was gonna collapse because of dizziness.
I went to the very first set of wire courses which were suppose to be the “easiest” one, which it was, but it wasn’t easy at all for me. I crossed through the different courses of criss crossy ropes, logs, and wires. One of my classmates that goes just before me was yelling at me, guiding me through and telling me what the easier ways to do this and that. I decided to do the fifth course as my last one.I finished it and I wasn't the last person in our school that finished our own goal. Even though I have this fear I still decided to finish the courses as it is just once in a school year opportunity that the school offers,I think. It was awesome. When all finished the courses that we had to do, we all sat on a bench, took pictures and ate pizza. That was the best part. On the afternoon we all went back to school with the class and went home on our own.
Every person has a fear of something, but I really had a good time because even if its just for fun-kind of activity I didn't let my fear became my limit.
Hey Maxzi,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post about Adrenaline Forest - I would have been exactly the same as you! A scared chicken! I am terrified of heights. The pizza would have also been my favourite!
After reading this post I am proud of the way you attacked your fear of heights! Go you!
