My Greatest Thrill Idon't know whether everyone would call this a great thrill, but I know I did and I think I would again if I were to have it happen to me once more. You are probably wondering what it is rby now, so I'll tell you. It all happened the day I went to Rocky Glen, an amusement park down in Pennsylvania. I went there with a group of my friends this last summer. At this amusement park you find rides that you don't find at the small fairs. Since these were the only things I had been to, I never realized the sensation you could get from the wild rides I found at Rocky Glen. There were many I had never heard of before going there, all of which I got the chance to try. Most of them were exciting because I had never seen or ridden on them before But the ride that I received m greatest thrill on was the roller coaster This probably wouldnt ever phase some people but you can just imagine my excitement as I climbed rnto the seat for the first time rn my life I was scared to death I tried every way I could to get out of going on that rrde but rt just drdn t seem to work The kids made me go on rt just the same Of course Iknew what was going to happen but I Just couldnt picture myself rrdrng on that roller coaster I knew about the drps and turns and everything because everyone had told me about rt The more they told me the more scared I got I drdn t want them to think of me as a poor sport so I decided to be brave As you must have guessed by now I wasn t bravc at all I was chrlled to the bone before we even got started Then it happened The coaster started off very slowly at first then faster We came to the first drp fthe br gestj I looked down and couldnt find the bottom By this time I was almost rn the bottom of thc seat screaming my head off -Xfter that first drp I could just see what was going to happen next It only took about a mrnute to get around the whole track Mfhen we arrived back there 1 was more than ready to get off But no the krds really enjoyed seeing me scared so I had to go through with rt again I tlrrnk we wcnt around that track at least four times before they let me get off iVhen we drd finally get off my legs felt just like jelly and I didn t thrnk Id be able to get up and walk on them You can just rmagrne how scared I was But I think I would go through with rt again rf I eyer got the chance Rrdrrrg on the roller coaster for the first time was the most exciting thing that has ever happened to me and I think I will remember rt always Daryl Yaw unror Opportunity Maybe the aches and pains of school wouldnt be rf students ,looked on the brighter side of rt I myself love school Of course I can t say that I love the homework that rs always piled on but I suppose that rs quite necessary In the United States we should feel very thankful Here we can enjoy the freedom of public educatrorr Also think of all the opportunities our schools offer Kale can participate rn sports music and other actrvrtres which appeal to rndrvrdual tastes Flhese not only build up the rndrvrdual and make a better crtrzen of him but also grve hrm an opportunity to bring forth hrs abilities Extra curricular activities help pave the road to our future occupations rn many ways Sports for rnstance help an individual to be plrysrcally fit alert and able to cooperate wrth others Many who are outstanding rn the field of physical education carry Ollt their abrlrty by becoming teachers and sorrretrrrrcs becoming professionally capable rn special fields Nlusrc too gives the rndrvrdual a background for adult lrfe In our school we are lucky to have a number of clubs all rn different fields Most of them are rnstr tutcd to brrng out the abrlrtres of the individual Press Llub brrngs to realism the freedom of the press Future farmers of America and Future Horrremakcrs of Xnrerrca help to promote better homes and farms rn the future Student Louncrl wlrrch governs the school student body helps rndrvrduals to under stand and recognize the importance of dernocratrc goxernment Library Llub was established to help persons learn the adx arrtages and uses of the library An organwatron setup nationally for those outstand rng rn both scholastic and rn leadershrp rs the lxdtlflllfll Honor Socrety These all help us to realrie the difference between a country as great as ours wrth a school system as great as ours and the few opportunities found rn other countries 72 Sally Cheesbro Sophomore x ' .
