THE FEARFUL RIDE

We were going to Auckland in 2 hours because we had some guests from India, and my family was showing them around. Once we arrived in Auckland me and my family got a rental car. After that we went to a 4-and-a-half-star hotel, we put luggage in our rooms, then we left the hotel and went to Kelly tartan which is a aquarium. After that we went to below zero, everything was made out of ice. It was 7 o clock so we had dinner. We went back to our hotel after dinner. The next day we went to Rainbows End. Rainbows End is a place with loads of rides. I was scared of one the rides. It was a ride where you had to go up slowly and fast down. My cousin from India encouraged me. It was finally over and it wasn't that bad. The ride felt like I was about to die. By the way, the ride was called Fear Fall.

The Giant Lizard

In 2013 I went to White Water World in Gold Coast, Australia with my family and nana & uncle. Me and my uncle decided to go on a ride. On the way, we walked past a bush & a green scaled, almost 1metre long lizard jumped out in front of us. It walked right through my legs and walked away. I felt like laughing so much and cracking up because it's scales were so soft.

My bravest moment at Woodend camp

I went to Woodend camp with my year 5 and 6 class in term 1, 2016. We were doing activities.  One of the activities was the flying fox which was this beam that when down. I was worried because it was high up. Also I have a fear of heights. But because I saw my brother Ryan do it I did it too and I had fun.

My first gymnastics competition

The time I felt brave was in 2013 when I competed in my first gymnastics competition. It was Canterbury champs at Olympia. I felt really nervous but in the end I felt really successful, even though me and Martin didn't get anything. I still felt happy even though I knew all of my routines (floor, pommel, high bar, parallel bar, rings and vault). I wasn't sure what I did wrong. Since then I have gone to many other competitions.
