The Napoleon Theme Park

If I were one of the creators of the Napoleon Theme Park, I would create another attraction called “ The Guns at Vendemiaire.” This roller coaster ride would be a small water ride. It would be a roller coaster ride that goes through a small city, Paris, in the old days. Then, there would be canons around the ride that shoots water. But, it’s not going to be one big splash; it will be little water shots at us. Plus, there will be water balloons provided for people who are watching to throw at the riders. After the riders are wet, they would go up a steep hill and do a free fall. After that, they would go through a 360° loop and come to a stop. Because of the free fall, and the 360° loop, people should dry off a little. This would be a really exhilarating ride to have in the Napoleon Theme Park. 
Here is the link the a BBC article on the Napoleon Theme Park: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-17397172

Courage can be Develop throughout Life


       I believe that courage is not something you have to be born with, but you can develop it throughout your life. As you learn and grow, you gain more experience that helps you become courageous. Everyone has courage, and it will be revealed at a different time for different people. Some would show courage at a young age, while others will show it when they are older. For instance, Justin Bieber showed social courage by becoming a star even though he knew there were going to be some criticism. He showed courage at a young age, whilst my grandma showed intellectual and social courage when she was sixty. My grandma studied at Mahidol University to get her master degrees in public health when she was sixty years old. Grandma was the oldest among other students, but she was still willing to learn even though she risked social embarrassment. Everybody has courage within themselves. When the time is right, that quality will shine.
