Before my sister graduated Penn State she and her friends went skydiving during Senior Week. My parents were not entirely happy since they asked her not to go and she did it anyway without telling them until after, but that is another story! I, on the other hand, was secretly told that she was going to do it and I excitedly waited to hear how it went. After hearing about the experience and later seeing the video, I immediately wanting to try this for myself.
I am not afraid of heights; I love roller-coasters and enjoy flying. I also love taking risks and doing things that others might consider crazy. But, for whatever reason, skydiving honestly freaks me out a little. By definition you are jumping out of a plane to fall and hope that your chute opens in time. It sounds both completely terrifying and absolutely enjoyable at the same time.
Since I am always trying to look at things that I would like to do during my life, have you found that there are either fears that you would like to confront or activities that may sounds crazy but you secretly would love to do?
I was recently discussing this with a friend when he told me that I should, “learn how to ski and ski off the edge of a cliff with a parachute and base jump down to a boat that will take your parasailing!” I doubt that I will be trying that any time soon. I’ll probably start small and simply jump out of the plan and hope that I land safely.My sister skydiving
What your friend told you is hilarious. I feel the same way- I really want to go skydiving but when I sit down and think about it I realize how terrifying the idea is. Go for it though!! You can do it. I would advise telling your parents first though haha
ReplyDeleteI am really afraid of heights but I would still try sky diving. You only live once so I think taking a few risks is good for you! My one friend went sky diving and she said it was sooo much fun. I'd love to try it.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you're friend was kidding around when I read this the first time. I'm a huge skier so I was like, could I do that? Then I read it again and was like oh! hahaha Anyway, I think skydiving sounds amazing (terrifying, but amazing). It would be "life risk" moment, but totally worthwhile. =)
