My trip on septa
My Trip On Septa I was going with my Dads buddy Eric to get back home. I was a bit nervous cause we had to take public transportation home. I've taken it before but it was only when I was younger. We walk to the train station to get on one of the trains to a certain stop. We go inside, we go below to the trains, we get to the booths to scan the card to get on the train. My Dad`s buddy gave me his card to scan and said to ´´Give it back to him after I scan´´ so then he could scan. I scan the card and then I was going to give it to him when the booth person said ´´ You're not allowed to do that´´ I froze where I was. I thought to myself ¨ I knew something bad was gonna happen I just knew it this is why I don't take public transportation.¨ Eric was starting to get mad that we couldn't use the card again to get him to the other side of the bars. He told me to ¨stay where I was¨ and went to get a ticket to scan that would let him in. He got the ticket, got it scanned and got in. I was glad he got in, I was starting to worry that he wouldn't get in and I would be stuck here or have to take the train by myself and I don't do good with being by myself on public transportation. We both walked towards the train and got on it. When I got on it the train was pretty messy. The floor had some pieces of trash like chip bags and food from restaurants. I didn't mind that though. I knew that any train would be dirty or hold trash in it. We took our seats and sat and just went on our phones till we had to get off at our stop. I thought the train was gonna be a bad experience for me cause I haven't really gone on a train before. I thought it was gonna have some crazy people on it like murderers on the news or creeps from a shady place. But when I was on it the train didn't have those things at all. I thought it would have but it didn't I knew that I was safe and I didn't have to worry about those kinds of people attacking me. I was worried about the other people that were on the train. With new people or strangers, I become really and tense up since I don't know them. I thought people would come up to me and try to talk to me. But they didn't do that they just stayed quiet and stayed where they were standing. I was glad about that but I was also worried about how sometimes when I sit for too long I need to move and I didn't want to do that since I was on a moving train but I didn't want to start to freak out while on the train. I started getting a bit antsy when I heard a voice said ¨ Now arriving¨ I was thanking God that I could get off the train and start to move and not sit still. We get up and off the train to the bus station. I was annoyed that I had to take a bus but I knew that they had some comfy seats that we could sit on so We got on the bus and took our seats. The bus seats were very comfy I could have sat there for hours. Unlike the train seats which were very uncomfortable also the ride on the bus was smooth which made me like the bus more. The ride on the train was also smooth sometimes but was very bumpy in some places. Which made me not hate it, not love it, just made me tolerate trains. We stayed on the bus for probably a half hour which felt like a whole day. We got to our stop and got off and walked back to my house I was finally home and I would finally get to relax until the next time I had to take a train. Going home on the train made me much less scared to go on it and it made learn that trying new things that I haven't done aren't so bad once you tried them and you shouldn't be afraid to try it.
