A Day at Six Flags
By: Nuno Fernandes da Rocha
(Portugal)
On the 12th of July, we had the ride of our lives. The students of the Sacred Heart ESL Program went to 6 Flags, the amusement park in Illinois.
Our wonderful teacher Ruth took some of the students to have a “far-out” experience. We arrived at 10am. The joy that we had in our hearts was a prophecy of the rest of the day.
The journey began with water rides and fun it was - just too much for our clothes. So after getting wet twice we left for lunch. The lunch was an astonishing picnic in the park; we ate and drank a lot; well, not too much, but just enough. Then we had a “laugh out loud” moment, where everyone told a joke.
Then we re-entered the park to handle an up and down afternoon, because some of us already had had enough adventure for a day, so not all of us went on the rollercoaster, but the bravest continued the expedition.
We left sadly, but with our hearts full of delight, for we had had a taste of adrenaline that will never leave our memories!
