 One day my sister, her friends, and I all went sledding down a slope on Alum Creek. It was a cold, January afternoon I believe. It was actually sometime around New Year’s. We were all sitting around in my sister’s boyfriend’s basement, Tylen is his name. “We should go sledding!” he said. My sister Cheyla and I looked at him with uncertainty. I had never been sledding before, but I was down with whatever. So we all decided on going. I already had a coat, but I had to borrow gloves from my sister. There was about five of us, all packed in a tiny car like crayons in the crayon box. When I got there, I got very nervous all of a sudden. Like I said before, I’d never been sledding. The hill looked awfully steep. I said, “I think I’m just gonna stay in the car”. Our friend Isaiah and I stayed back. I decided to let the others go first. It was a really long walk to the actual hill, which I wasn’t too fond of because it was really cold. After them seeing them go down the hill, I decided to give it a try. I got my sled and began to walk. “Girl, come on!”. My sister was a few feet ahead of me. When I got to the hill, I realized there were rocks at the bottom. This made me a lot more nervous than I was before. When I got to the top, all I could think was, “don’t hit the rocks”. I went, and I was going as fast as a car on the freeway. The ride wasn’t smooth either. I was exhilarating but nerve racking at the same time. When I got to the bottom I said, “Alright, that’s enough”.
