Tolerance With Long Lines  __ I haven’t met many people that has not minded to wait for someone in a long line. __ I know that I hate it when I go somewhere and I have to wait in a long line, because I am not a patient person at all. There are many times when I have encountered having to wait in a long line for various reasons. There are three things that really bother me when I am out and about in a hurry, waiting for the traffic to clear up, really hungry, which happens a lot, or being out side in the burning heat waiting to get on a ride at Cedar Point. There are many times when I have been frustrated in busy places with long lines. One of the many times that I had to wait in a long line, was the other week at McDonnell's. My Mom and I just got into Battle Creek, and I was staving because I hadn’t eaten breakfast that day, so I asked her if we could run through the McDonnell’s drive through really quick before we started shopping. When we got to the restaurant, we thought that it would be a quick trip, go through the drive through, and then go to our first shopping destination, well that surely wasn’t the case. When we arrived at McDonnell’s my mouth was watering for a crispy ranch snack wrap and a large fry, but come to find out there was a huge line for drive through and inside was packed, evidently everyone skipped breakfast that day. My mom said that it would probably be faster to go inside instead of being the sixth car in the drive through line, so that is what we did. We walked through the chili winter weather and entered the busy restaurant. There was one or two people in front of us at the counter, but there was many other people sitting down at the booths and tables. Finally it was our turn to order, we got our food a couple minutes later and was out of the restaurant, and I was ready to stuff my face with the unhealthy fast food. Last summer, my friend Lindsey invited me to go with her to Cedar Point for a trip with her church. I was very excited for this trip because I had never been to Cedar Point but I had heard people talk about the scary rides. We traveled to Cedar Point in mid July, a while after my birthday. We drove with Lindsey’s mom, dad, brother sister, and our other friend Jesse. When we got there we all were super excited to get out of the van, and get to the rides. We had to wait a little while for everyone to get their bracelets and tickets. We finally went to go meet in the pavilion to get the “okay” to start riding rides. When we were told that we could go ahead and start riding rides, we were so happy, we decided that we would go to the back of the park to ride the newer ride, Maverick. When we go back there we found that the ride was down for maintenance. We then decided to go try the Raptor, this ride to us looked fun and not to scary, so it was perfect. The sun was beating down on us and there was such a long line, we thought we going to die of heat stroke.  __All of us had to have tolerance with the long lines of standing in the hot humid weather.__ __ My family travels once a couple of years and when ever you travel it seems like you almost always run into traffic __. Well, we usually travel for hours going somewhere down south, everyone wants to get to our destination or just out of the vehicle to stretch, but when your on the highway there is no where to get out at. When we are highway in a rush to get to the state where we are traveling to, we never want to run into a traffic jam, but sometimes that happens. There is a couple times I can remember that we were going down south and there would be a long line of cars because an accident was up ahead. It gets very tense because everyone wants to start get going again. Y__ou have to have much tolerance with traffic, if your going through a small town, but especially when there is a huge traffic jam when your traveling to your vacation destination.__ __ Tolerance is something you have to have with everyday life with many situations. __ I know I have used tolerance with many things that I encounter, you have to have tolerance with situation that you don’t see coming such as a traffic jam. I have had tolerance with long lines in restaurants, such as McDonnell's when I am extremely hungry, along with having tolerance with the heat out side burning down on me while I was standing in a long line at Cedar Point waiting to ride one of their rides. __Tolerance is a very important to have for many things, not just with long lines. __
