“Lost in Six Flags”

Four years ago I had a disastrous experience on my first visit to Six Flags. When my
colleagues and I arranged a trip to Six Flags. I was very excited as it was my first tour there. It was
in the 11 in the morning when we arrived, and the organizers gave us the instructions while we
made our teams to tour the place, my friend Daniela and I met to enter decided to play the games
together. We were walking and until we arrived at the Medusa ride. We got on and when we got
off, my friend Daniela saw her friend named Alison. She ran to Alison and left me alone on a
bench; I was were I stayed waiting for her while I had just finished talking to Alison. After a while,
I did not see Daniela anymore, so I went looking for other friends. I was lost and scared. After
walking for a while I found my teacher eating a hamburger. I sat down with her to see if my
friends were passing by. Later my friend Paulo saw me and told invited me to go around the park
with them. I was much more relaxed when I saw them because I would no longer be alone.
However, while I was with them Daniela was looking for me. Even though this experience scared
me because I got lost. It was a cool day. From that experience I learned that I must not separate
from my friends.
