My biggest fear is heights….so, how, you ask, did I manage to take a plane three times??!?
The first time I was on a plane was to go to Chicago for the National Miss Amazing convention in 2017. I was so scared! When I first got on the plane, I was crying and almost wanted to get off. Thanks to my mom, my sister, and my friend Lauren, it was one of my favorite experiences…..except for the take off and the landing part! I sat in the seat on the aisle because I didn’t want to look out the window…I held onto my mom’s hand really hard!! I was so scared! After we were in the air, I switched sits with my mom and spent the rest of the flight looking out the window!
My second time on a plane was to fly to Florida to catch a ship for a cruise to the Bahamas. I wasn’t looking forward to the take off, as usual. This time was even more scary!!! As we were about to take off, suddenly the plane came to a stop, like getting into a crash in a car. No one knew what was going on!! All the passengers had to get off the plane, and spend two hours in the airport lounge area. Thankfully I was with my mom, my cousin Michelle, and friends. We almost missed the ship by the time we finally were back in the plane and flying to Florida!!
The third time I have been on a plane, was Fall of 2025, to fly to North Caroline with MARC to attend the National ARC conference. This time my mom and my sister were with me, and friends from MARC and staff people. This time there weren’t any issues, but I still didn’t like the take offs and landings!
I am not sure how long it will be before I fly again!
