I used to be a shy person until I met my first girlfriend. She made me who I am, an adventurous, thrill seeking, and open hearted guy. I love going out and engaging my life in social activities. I like mountain climbing, hiking, bicycling, motor boating, fishing, skiing, swimming, cave exploring, sky diving, anything that gets my heart pumping. The most recent activity I’ve participated in was white water rafting in the Poconos with my hilarious friends. There was 5 people seated in my raft but somehow we ended up with 1.
Everyone gets on the boat with a lifejacket on and we carry the raft into the water and we all jump into it. We reach our first rapid, it wasn’t that big but we managed to crash into a rock so we all had to get out onto the rock and push the boat off and quickly jump back in because we were scared the raft might leave us. The water turned calm so we all jumped into the water for a swim and it was freezing. Another raft came by our raft and there was a crazy guy who had a big water squirting device that squirts water at 20 miles per hour so it felt like we got punched in the face. He squirted everyone and we all screamed in pain but it was funny. We reach the 2nd rapid and this one was the most insane one because we literally crashed every rock and we had to hold onto each other’s hand. One kid almost fell overboard and hit his head on a rock. The 3rd rapid was the funniest one. We had a bucket in the raft for our stuff like clothes, food etc. I thought water would’ve gotten in so I opened it. I didn’t know the boat turned sideways and the rapid was right behind me since my back was facing it and my friends didn’t notice either. We crashed into a rock and I fall backwards with the open bucket. I basically poured everyone’s stuff into the water. 3 people jumped off the raft to save what didn’t wash away. No one even bothered to pull me back up into the raft. My brother lost his shirt, and our food which consists of dumplings, big Macs, cheeseburgers and bacon and cheese sandwiches were just floating down the rapids. The people left in the boat also jumped off further down the rapid to save stuff they saw. The raft was abandoned except my brother who was shirtless. We were then picked up on by one by oncoming rafts behind us, and thankfully we all met up again in the calm waters.
At the end of the trip we looked like fried chicken, golden to the crisp. We all laughed at each other and we all had our group hugs. Even though my brother was angry and everyone else was angry at me for losing their food and clothing we all had a good time.
