Waking up, I felt nervous, yet i could not remember why. Then it hit me. Today, i was going to fly 30,000 feet into the sky and then throw myself out of the plane with just a piece cloth to ensure my safety to land. I wriggled down my bed and burried myself under the duvet like a baby into the womb. With a mixture of fear and excitement, i forced myself out of bed and towards the curtains I could see that the condition was perfect. It was sunny and dry and there was a light breeze which prompted the sunflowers to nod their heads at me in encouragement. Reassured, i dressed quickly and headed out to the bus waiting to take me to the air field.

Entering the airfield, i saw a lady heading towards me with my suit. Pushed onto my face were goggles. They felt very uncomfomtable. Under the airplane i noticed the wheels which were as big as a giants ring. The fields were a patchwork blanket sown together by roads. I squealed with fear like a mouse getting chased by a cat. I fainted.

Waking up once again, I noticed i was on the plane which was climbed higher and higher. Through the window, i noticed clouds looking like sheep with fluffy white coats cheering me on. The noise of the plane was a bolt of lighting waiting to strike me out. Patted on the back by a rather cute and friendly instructor. I was encouraged. I felt better. BUt when i looked down from the plane i felt sick. I had a problem. Should i dive? Or shouldn't i? But i made my decision. I jumped.

Flying through the air felt scary but exciting at the same time. Dumped on the top of my instuctor felt uncomfortable but other than that. It felt good. I am a bird bombdiving down the sky. But i still felt as scared as a falling bird nearing its death. Down below are greenfields and people looking like ants. I could tell i was getting close to the ground because everything was clearer and bigger. So i pulled my parachute.

Breathing air heavily. I landed. Thumped on the floor hurt my feet but at least i did it, the trees were as green as the fields that i saw when i was skydiving. The people coming towards me were a big swarm of bees coming to buzz around me all day. I was so glad i did this. Next to me was my instructor clapping and cheering at me. I wish i could do this again.
