Try New Things By William

It was me, my brother, and my friend Jacob (Huber). All sitting in the basement of his house. We were playing video games and chatting about various things when Josh said “Lets go to Twin Silo.”

We all got into his car and then we drove over to Twin Silo. Soon we arrived and then walked to the park entrance. We played basic stuff like tag and the sort. But then we all got an idea.Jacob Said “Lets Climb The Slide.” Now, that thing was like 4 stories tall and it was a super long climb, plus it was always cramped.We did decide to go up it however.

We all entered the silo and took the stairs up the first two sections. But then came the part that I hated the most, THE NET CLIMB.You may be thinking, Will, it seriously takes 2 seconds to climb up, and it's not that high. Yeah your right, but there are no safety nets under it and when you started the net climb the net had huge spaces and it was an immediate death-drop if the net broke, and I /.personally would not like to fall 3 stories to my death.

As I stepped onto the net, I started getting memories of the first time I went and when I tried to get up, I failed. It all happened because my shoe got stuck and there were so many people so I just decided to go down....But this time, I would make it up to the top. There weren't very many people there so it wasn't really a problem, Until I looked down.

There's a good reason they say don't look down because when I did I freaked out and pulled myself to the platform with the slide as quickly as I could.We had finally made the long ascent up the silo. We all stood next to the dark void of the slide “Let's do this” I said, and all got in, and slid.

Then, My brother had a genius idea to clog the slide and we had a whole TON of people stuck behind us. We would do it by whispering up the slide so it sounded like we were at the bottom and we said that it was safe to come down. We hid around the corner and when we got like, 10 people, we went down. And that's how I got over my fear of heights.

I learned a valuable lesson from this however. If you don't try new stuff, you will never have any fun, when I tried I thought it was awesome, If i didn't try It my time there would have been boring.
