Flying For the First Time
Scared, afraid, nervous, excited I was feeling all emotions right now. I was sitting in the passenger's seat of the car looking out the window, unsure of what was to come. "Remember, take of all metal when going through security. Oh also make sure your only carrying one carry on okay." "Hey don't be so nervous everything is going to be alright you won't even feel it. Plus if you get scared you can go to sleep." I tried to focus on my sister's words but I was too overwhelmed in my own thoughts to really pay any attention. I have always been very scared of heights. Once I bent one of my favorite rings on a rollercoaster ride. I was holding so tight to the rail that my ring got bent. I took so many tries to get it off my ringer. Now thinking about being way up high in the air made me extra nervous but my love for traveling was what kept me from not forcing my sister to turn the car around. It also didn't help that I would go on my first flying experience by myself. I had made up hundreds of scenarios in my head of things that could go wrong. My legs shook more and more the closer we got to the airport. Finally, we were here. We got off the car and she guided me up until the security checkpoint. I hugged her goodbye, took a deep breath and slowly made my way through security. I found my gate and nervously sat and waited for my flight to be called. My fight was walked and I made my way through to the plane. As soon as I found my seat and sit down I momently felt like throwing up. I was probably the only passenger to be actively focused on the flight attendant's security and safety instructions and demonstrations. As the flight continues I found it harder to sleep but after a while, I was able to get more comfortable and not be so scared anymore.
