It was cool, the bus was packed basically with a lot of teenagers who were tired but most likely hyped up on energy drinks. Upward Bound, a program that helps you get a first-hand college experience, really did go to the top with this trip. I hope this trip goes well so my hard work wasn’t for nothing though!

I thought I would’ve gotten lucky having a seat to myself but ended up getting stuck with another student, there goes my leg room.

    Texas Giant Chaos I woke up feeling terrified that day, just the thought of riding on a roller coaster and the possibility of flying off made me shiver in fear. It would be my first time ever going to Six Flags, and knowing all of the 8th graders were going, I wouldn’t dare miss it for the world.
