I have always dreamed of riding in an airplane ever since I was still a kid. That feeling of excitement I would always feel every time there will be an airplane that will pass by. Every that happens and we're in the middle of having a class (during my grade school days), all of us will really go out of the room and look at the airplane or the helicopter pass by.
I have always dreamed of the feeling when you are like riding in a bird and seeing the things below.
I have always wondered how it felt to be near the clouds.
Early morning, we were already there in the waiting shed waiting for a bus to travel to the airport. I had sleepless nights because of the excitement I feel. Well, it wasn't all excitement because I also feel a bit nervous about it since my uncles and my aunts who were able to ride in a plane before were saying that it will really be scary and that thought keeps creeping on my mind.
When we reached the airport and I saw the airplanes, I felt more excited!!! We checked in and then, we just waited there in the boarding gate where we're assigned to.
When the airplane is starting to take off, I was really scared but I am trying not to show it so I just closed my eyes and just held my breath for a moment but, when we reached the top, and I saw the clouds near me, I was so amazed and all the fear just literally washed away.
The most essential thing to do when you have a flight. You shouldn't be late because they are very strict when it comes to TIME. I even saw one guy was all mad when we got there because he got late and he wasn't allowed to take the ride in the plane anymore.
I am sure you do not want to be left by your flight, have your flight cancelled and never get a refund, right?
2. Do not listen to what other people say.
Just like what happened to me, I listened to what other people say that an airplane ride is scary and it feels like you are riding in a Ferris Wheel. And they were saying that riding in an airplane might make you feel nauseous and stuff. But, if you let those thoughts get into you, instead of getting excited about your first airplane ride, nervousness might overtake that excitement and change it to being scared. So, it is better to just let your experience be the one to teach you how it feels like.
Whenever you feel nervous, just BREATHE! And, just look out the window and enjoy the view . :) Looking at the view can really help you forget about your nervousness and it will really make your eyes full.
Here, you can see the clouds just look like little cotton balls floating in the air and you can also see the aerial view of the place where you pass by.
I have never felt the clouds this real.
Pictures bring back memories. It is like a time machine that can help you time travel to the past whenever you want to. And, first times are just the BEST! So, if you want to have a good memory of your first airplane ride, take some pictures!
It's only when you're flying above it that you realize how incredible the earth really is.
I will ride, I will fly. Chase the wind and touch the SKY.
