Everything happened last summer during vacation. Every year my family plans some wild, adventurous trip, and last year we were going to visit some of the states in the northeastern United States. The trip was going fine until we arrived at the state of New Hampshire. We were going to camp there for a few days, and that was when my parents announced that we were all going to climb Mount Washington. I was not too thrilled by this idea, in fact, I was relatively annoyed. Let me just say, that I did not want to climb to the top of Mount Washington. The thought of climbing this mountain just did not interest me. In the past, we had done many other pretty extreme hikes, and I wondered why this one would be any different. My parents, on the other hand, were both very enthusiastic about this. However, my brother fell somewhere in between, interested, yet not. Despite my parents’ opinions about the climb, I still tried to protest, saying that it would not be that great. Until the day of the hike finally came.
I was still not thrilled about having to climb Mount Washington, but I had accepted the fact that my parents were not going to change their minds about their decision. When the day of the great hike had finally came, my family woke up early so that we would have enough time to go to the top and back. Then we packed snacks for the journey, lunches for the peak, and plenty of water for along the way. After that, we left our campsite and drove to the base of the mountain where
One day, I woke up excited and ready to start my day, when I suddenly the screams from my mom pieced my ears. She had to give me some good news. She walked into my room that morning to surprise me saying, “You were nominated to run for the great event happening in Boston this weekend.” I got out of my bed, and started packing my clothes for the big marathon. I had to catch the 12 noon flight, that same day.
I opened the door and jumped out of the car. Then the chilly air and the wind greeted me by wrapping themselves around me. I waited a few seconds so my body could cool down. A few seconds later, I saw that the other scouts were getting out of their car and starting to get their packs from the trunk. I did so too.
We started descending down the hill at a rapid speed, fast and faster, going up and down over bumps. As we started going down I could feel myself almost standing because of the bar, great I could potentially die if I don 't follow the rules. Instead of just letting myself stand I forced myself in with my elbows in my hips and my hands on the bar pushing me down. When the ride stopped panic arose in my parents voices. “Morgan where are you !”
If I had known how much pain the trail would cause me, would I have started? I surprised myself by realizing that yes, I would still have started my hike even if I had known that it would be the most difficult thing I’d ever done. My mother told me, “Never quit on a bad day”, advice that I took to heart. If I had quit every time I felt tired, I wouldn’t have won the USA Cycling Championship when I was nine, nor gone on to the world championships of bicycle motocross to compete. I weathered every storm, every twisted ankle and scraped knee with a renewed belief in myself.
I knew that I wanted to go to a college to study about art so my mom suggested that I should live with my eldest brother, Greg. She said that Greg can help me choose what college to attend, what job I should apply for and how to become an adult. I ended up deciding to try it out, I will pay Greg rent, help out with house chores and sometimes do the grocery shopping. Greg is a very busy person so I will not be allowed to use his car
we had to wait again in the car to go back down the mountain because the roads were too icy to drive down. Being in those conditions for so long we all started to feel a little loopy almost like a drunk feeling which made the wait a little more bearable. Finally after three to four hours on the top of Pikes Peak we could finally go down. The drive down was horrible, the road was all curvy with some pretty sharp turns and my uncle had to be careful with the breaks so they wouldn 't overheat, we had to stop a lot more times on the way down because everyone was feeling pretty sick.
California or Hawaii? It was the beginning of my vacation and I had to decide whether to go to California or stay in Hawaii. I would love to visit California and also meet my Uncle while we were there but I had 1 problem. I had a fear of heights.

Why would anyone want to climb Mount Everest with all the dangers that are included in this journey? In the book, Into Thin Air, Jon Krakauer starts the story when he the summit. Then it jumps back and starts off from the beginning when he was offered a job to write a news article for Outsider Magazine. His goal was to write about his experience and hardships he went through to the people that took on the challenges of the climb.

Ski This was my first time going skiing in 2010. I felt nauseous stepping onto skis and riding down the huge snowy mountain. When we were there I saw on the top of the snowy mountain a surge of people. Also, I felt pretty scared that I might crash and break a leg or two. Then we went onto the lift and snow started falling little by little.
Moving is always hard. It is harder if you are moving from your birthplace to a culturally different country after spending most of your teenage years. I moved from Bangladesh to New York about a year and a half ago and let me tell you, it was not easy. I had to leave the place I grew up in, my friends and relatives and start a new life here in America. Probably the only good part was that at least I was with my family throughout this hardship.
