I was travelling with six teenagers the first time I went to Seattle.

Actually it was the first time I ever flew. We went for three days to a campground north of Seattle, for Bible quiz competition, then spent two days in Seattle, sight seeing. I remember going up in the Space Needle. I was accompanied by a young man who was claustrophobic, and one who was afraid of heights. It was interesting to watch the claustrophobic as we went up, up, up, in the elevator, and the one who was scared of heights on the observation deck. The man afraid of enclosed spaces flew to England next, for a missions trip--I would go crazy on that long a flight, and the one afraid of heights went to flying school and did his solo that summer. I found both situations very interesting and contradictory. Have you visited Seattle, what do you remember? Do you know people who conquer great fears to achieve their life goals? Bear in mind these people were between fourteen and seventeen, all of them. I was so impressed.
