Biography, Flying For the First Time


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.

I am a senior here at OU (Wow can't believe I'm saying senior time flies by so fast). I am a Health and Exercise Science major. I'll be graduating this spring, my plans so far are to take a year off and work and travel a little maybe go for masters in health promotion but I'm still not sure yet. In the future, I hope to go to grad school for physical therapy and work with either the elderly or children. I love science and learning about the human body. The way the human body works and manages to keep us alive is so amazing, learning all the mechanics of it is one of my favorite parts of my major. Therefore, some of my favorite classes have been Human Anatomy and Exercise Physiology. Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, B

Week 3 Story: Love at First Sight

Wedding of Prince Rama and Princess Sita as depicted in 'The Ramayana' Image Source: Infinite Eyes in flicker I stood there for a moment staring at my reflection, my whole body embellished in the finest clothes and jewels. I still couldn't believe it, today is the day. My body was filled with nerves and excitement all at once. Suddenly a large smile adorned my face as I remembered our first encounter and the events that came after... After we successfully helped Vishvamitra win in the battle against the rakshasas, Lakshmana kept bothering me to accompany him in exploring the city. All I wanted to do was rest after the long day but after a lot of convincing I finally gave in. We were accompanied by a hermit and finally set out to explore the city of Mithila ruled by the great King Janaka. The city was beautiful and full of life and the smells from the marketplace filled our noses, we walked for a while and later made our way to  King Janaka's palace, where w
