　　Skydiving jump

　　Skydiving jump. It was the first adventurous activity ever in my life.

　　We made it last summer. It was a nice sunny day when we went to skydive. We took a 6 hour course and were ready to subdue the sky I went for it with my class mates. I was a little afraid before my first skydiving jump, but my class mates encouraged and convinced me to do it.

　　Crickey!!!! It was fantastic! I can’t express all the feelings of free flight. It was the combination of happy, frightened, excited, and satisfied. All of these feelings happened at the same time. I could see the Earth below me as I flew like a bird with my parachute. I remember I was flying my body with my friends and was building different formations in the sky. Unfortunately I finally landed in the tree, but it was a smooth landing. I wasn’t hurt at all.

　　That was a good lasting memory and all I can think about now is when I would be able to skydive again.

　　New & Exciting Activities

　　Some people think that it’s good to experience new things, such as exploring new places. Do you agree?

　　Yes without a doubt. Life is boring if you never encounter or try new things. People will never know what's really out there unless you explore. I went to Egypt last summer, which was a totally new place to me. The civilization of Egypt did broaden my horizon.

　　What qualities does one need in order to be an explorer?

　　To be an explorer, one should be brave, cautious, friendly and open-minded. The ability to pick up local customs and language easily is also important.

　　Do you think young people can handle new experiences and new activities better than old people?

　　I will say Yes, for the most parts. Seniors usually prefer comfort and to dwell in what they have built for themselves, including daily routine. That’s what we called: falling into a rut. Young people like to keep on trying and learning new things as they can adapt well.
