Sometimes I doubt that I have tachophobia. Every time I go skiing, snowboarding or roller skating, I have always been so frightened of going fast and immediately halt myself once I gain a little bit of speed. Ice skating at Lynah Rink with my fellow Rose Scholars was not an exception to my fear of speed. In the beginning, once I stepped on the rink, I felt that I lost control of everything. However, everyone gave me a hand when I was about to fall and I gained confidence about skating bit by bit. For the first time, I was able let go of the handrail and ice skated a very short distance before I screamed at the top of my lung.
Overall, I had a great time with my friends at the rink despite the fact that I was worried about going ice skating at first. I think big group activities, such as ice skating, bowling are all great events that Rose Scholars Program can organize more. I heard from a friend who lived in Keeton that they once had a trip to Ithaca mall and do ceramics painting. I think that will also be a good option for a Rose Scholar event.
