Courage

A moment in my life when I was courageous was when I first rode the roller coaster in an amusement park when I was in third grade. We went to a school fieldtrip to the amusement park located in Korea. We rode many rides because it was a weekday. My friends and I decided to ride the rollercoaster after all. With a thumping heart I was in the line for the rollercoaster and when the ride went down swiftly as a bumble bee, I was terrified by what I've seen. I was anxious and worried at the same time. Also, I was thinking about waiting for my friends outside until they were done, but my friends encouraged me to ride it and said that I would miss so much fun not riding it. Eventually, I got on the rollercoaster and I had my head down screaming the whole time during the ride. Time flew by really quickly and I was off the rollercoaster in five minutes. I felt so scared when riding the rollercoaster, but after I got off the rollercoaster, I was so excited and hyper. If I did not ride the rollercoaster that moment, I think I would have regretted so much because now, rollercoaster is one of my favorite, addicting rides. My experience on the rollercoaster reveals my personality and identity because it shows that it takes a long time for me to get used to new things, but once I adapt and get used to it, it becomes my favorite and I can do the best in. When something new appears, I tend to get very frightened and shocked, but I think time is the way that cures my fear and brings me closer to the new things I've adapted in. Like the rollercoaster, I still have this habit of being scared of achieving new things that appears in my life and adapting to changes quickly. I think this habit affects me a lot negatively and I trying hard to fix or improve in my habit.
