Thrill Seeker Since Birth

As a kid I never thought I would be so obsessed with finding new ways to get that adrenaline rush. I used to be crazy afraid of riding the smallest of roller coasters because I never knew what to expect. I would always be caught with my heart pounding out of its chest to the point that I would make myself sick.

Years later I am now 18, an adult, well at least legally but now I can never get enough of getting that tingly feeling in my stomach. You can think of it as an obsession but hey, being addicted to adrenaline rushes beats being addicted to alcohol or drugs any day.

The adrenaline I seem to enjoy most seems to come from roller coasters. I grew a large fascination over them throughout the years to a point where I even started simulation projects in order to create them, all unique. It was a form of expression through a creative matter. I cant help but visit Six Flags what feels like hundreds of times throughout the year ( yes I am a proud season pass holder) and never seem to get tired of it. I get excited visiting new theme parks, getting those rushes, and experiencing new adventures.

I give a lot of credit to my grandfather for being by my side through all of this because even till this day at seventy something years old he is still the number one person I can count on to be the one to experience all these roller coasters with. No roller coaster is too tall, too fast, or too crazy for either of us and I admire him greatly for his strength and drive.

Call me a loser but many times people are asked what their dream job would be, and they would say a doctor, a journalist, a fashion designer, but I always had a different response than the others. My dream job would be to work for Disney as an Imagineer; being able to design and create cruise ships, hotels, theme parks, and rides all through Disney. Disney is known as the happiest place on earth, and having a job with them would make me expect nothing less than the happiest job on earth making others happy.
