Capital One

I am writing about Capital One No Hassle Miles credit card. Capital one reminds me of the Vikings in the Capital One commercials. It also reminds me of The Baldwin brother that does the other Capital One commercials. Capital One was one of the few credit card companies I had to file bankruptcy for. Capital one what’s in your wallet? That saying has been around for a while now and it has made them famous. The no Hassle miles card allows you to earn airline miles with no blackout dates and allows you to fly to hundreds of destinations worldwide. Capital one has made many interesting commercials that are still popular today.

Elements of a lie
I was once stuck on a roller coaster for a half hour upside down. I was ten years old it was my first trip to World's of Fun in Kansas City. We waited in line for half over an hour and I was getting really nervous. This was to be my first Roller Coaster that I got to ride. I went with my dad. My mom and sisters didn't want to ride. I remember the roller coaster going up and peaking at the top of the hill. As the roller coaster made it's descent I remember closing my eyes. As the roller coaster started going through the loop it suddenly stopped. I was in the middle of the carts and it stopped with me hanging upside down. I remember being really scared and thinking I was going to fall out. My dad was beside me and he told me to stay calm that help would be on its way. I remember looking up, in wich this case was down and seeing another car stopped on the hill going up. I wondered why we couldn't of been in that cart, or not on this ride at all. The blood was really rushing to my head at this point and I was feeling ill. Mind you this story is true. I am only ten years old and really scared. Ten minutes have gone by and still no signs of anyone, I begin to wonder what is taking so long. My dad is telling me to stay calm. At about fifteen minutes we hear someone on a loud speaker tell us help will be on the way.  After about twenty minutes we see the first people come in to help. they are all wearing harnesses and making their way up to us. They remove the people one the ends first and help them out of their seats. At this point I am about to scream for help. getting to my dad and me takes a little more time. My dad being a big man it takes two guys to help him out of his seat. Then my dad helps me out of my seat. I had no clue this was actually the easier part.  Now we must walk the quarter mile of catwalks and ladders to make out way back to the depot where we can get off. Looking over the edge is scary. My fear of heights at ten years old is really kicking in. After quite a few minutes of walking we make it back to the depot. My mom looks just a scared as i do. My sisters and my parents and me all hug, glad this experience is over.
