It was dangerous, but I knew that I had to do it. It was a new challenge. Nobody thought I could do it, and I wasn't sure myself. I waited to take my turn.Finally, the door opened, and I took a deep breath. I stood up and moved closer to the door. I could hear the instructor telling me 'to go'. I looked down. It was now or never.Suddenly, somehow I had managed to jump out of the plane and I was in free fall. The feeling of being up in the air was fantastic. I didn't want it to end, but I knew it was time to pull the cord. I gave it a hard tug, then another. Nothing happened!
I started to panic. The ground below was getting closer. Was this the end? All of a sudden, I felt something lift me up. I felt, I wasn't alone anymore.
