Q.
Have you ever been disappointed by a place or activity that you thought would be interesting, or excited about a place or activity that you thought would be boring?
A.
Yes, I have. The place that I lived in when I was a child was surrounded by mountains. It was just two hours away from Park City, a famous skiing resort where the 2002 Winter Olympics took place. As a young teenager, I would always ask my father to bring us to Park City for skiing, because I thought it was the best place for skiing. He always brought me to the mountains near our house for skiing instead and I would complain a lot to him. I am sure I got on his nerves but he never got angry.
I was so excited the first time that I went to Park City with my friends when I was older. However, I quickly became very disappointed. The whole place was crowded. It took forever to get onto the ski lifts because of all the people waiting in line, and I kept running into people, especially children who got in the way, when I was skiing. It wasn’t the experience that I thought it would be at such a famous ski resort. I realized very quickly that the mountains near my old home were actually much better than Park City! The mountains were always quiet. The snow was always beautiful because there was no one else on it but us. If we were lucky enough to see the sun setting on the snow, it sparkled like a beautiful scene out of a Christmas card, and I finally understood why my father always brought me there and nowhere else.
