looking over the fencing and seeing the height down below. I recalled that the time before I was not able to walk all the way around, I could not spend long up there. This time, it felt different. Perhaps it was because I knew what to expect, but I was able to take in the views, both old and new, at such an exceeding height. “It does not feel so bad really�. I was able to get close to the fencing without trembling, without panicking. I did not need to sit down in fear, but the wind became so strong suddenly I had to hold myself onto the pillar wall for a length of time before I felt safe to walk around again. It pushed with much force that it felt like it was going to take me away. The wind eventually made me want to go back down. It started making me feel uncomfortable, though I felt that I would not have minded staying

up there longer if I could. But it started making my legs feel wobbly so walking down the staircase I had to go near the wall more so to keep steady and feel safer. Walking back down, I was taking it easy, and not rushing to be on the ground again. The time it took to go up or down did not feel as long, unlike before, it felt longer. I felt that the overall experience of Alton Towers helped. I felt calmer, more happier with myself. Proud of myself. It is wonderful to feel this way.
