3 Favorite memories or past accomplishments

         

   In the past, there have been many important memories or accomplishments that I have had. Lots of them have been exciting and fun experiences for me. One important memory that stuck with me was a long time ago when I was camping in Falcon Lake. What happened was that I was riding my bike around an area of camp sites, campers and trailers, and as I was on my way back to my camping spot, the wind everywhere started to really pick up from nowhere and got very windy all of a sudden. The wind was the only main force that was moving the bike in the direction I was going and I could feel like there was some kind of whirling wind behind me. Out of nowhere when I look to my side in the near distance, the sheer force of the wind acted like a small tornado and made a huge tree topple over onto a camper. This was a very heart pounding and exciting memory of mine.

Some other important past events for me was that I was able to accomplish going on this huge water slide last year that was really crazy and super scary. It was a water slide called “The Tornado” and at first, to get to the top of it, you had to climb about 4 flights of stairs in this cabin-like structure. You would then get in this big floater for 4 people, and you would go down into this funnel section of moving water in this huge funnel-like slide, and right after 2 seconds there was an immediate drop that felt like a 7 foot fall into the slide, and the current of water took you back and forth across the gigantic funnel shaped slide until the bottom came. This was very thrilling memory and accomplishment for me. Finally, another great memory that I had was of the time when I had to get crutches 2 years ago for my left leg where my hip bone slipped, and I had to go in for surgery. The person that gave me the “I V” needle before surgery was a nurse still in training, and had messed up on getting the needle in my hand and had to try multiple times before it worked. It was a pretty painful and scary memory I had, and that I to experience.
