Water jump final draft 3

The Water Jump 

Would you risk something dangerous to increase your self confidence? I had a great experience with what happens when you risk something and when you believe in yourself, even if it's dangerous. This experience was a jump from a high tower and the results were really positive and changed many things about my behavior. Especially my level of self confidence and independence increased. I showed myself that I'm able to do difficult things and to overcome my bad feelings and fear. By jumping in the water adrenalin and happiness came up in my body, which was unforgettable. This taught me to overcome myself by difficult decisions and situations because it pays off with happiness, pride and Independence. 

It was a Saturday night at a common lake in my hometown. We were out for waterskiing and my friends and me had a lot of fun together. An hour after the waterskiing was over we stayed at the lake for a few more hours. It got really dark and the water was cold as if it would snow. We sat at the beach and spoke about things we could do because it was quite boring. 

After a while we decided to go into the water, even if it was uncomfortable and freezing. We swam around without having a good view of the water.

 Finally I was attracted to climb on a tower from waterskiing. The tower was ten meters high and the steel felt cold and hard. Because of the description of the lake which hung out at the water-plant I knew that the water was really deep and safe to jump. Many adults were jumping down from the tower which I had observed over the last few days. So I swam to the tower and started to climb. 

On the one hand a really uneasy feeling was present, but on the other hand adrenalin and happiness flowed through my body. I decided not to think much about it ,because I was sure that I will change my opinion soon. This attitude was caused because the more time you are thinking about something the more negative thoughts and dangerous results will blow up in your mind. That's why I just kept climbing. It was really exhausting and laborious.

After a few minutes the top of the tower was reached. I held myself at a big metal chain and looked down to the water. It was too dark to see a difference between the air and the water. I had no idea how high I was above the water. 

As I was standing on the tower some of my friends tried convincing me to climb down because it would be to high and to dark. I stood there for a long time counting often to three without jumping after it. Was I to afraid? The wind blew in my face and tasted fresh and cold.

 I played with the thoughts to climb down but finally I pulled myself together and said: "No, I will do it!" Adrenalin pushed up in my body and without thinking or counting up numbers, which can make you change your opinion, I jumped down the tower. A loud noise arose, followed by a big water splash.

I enjoyed every second of the flight feeling the fresh and real air. Full with energy, pride and happiness I swam back to my friends.

Even if many people would say that this was really dangerous and bad I would not change my opinion right now about the water jump. There are much more good results from the jump than possible negative consequences. First of all it was a big "adrenaline kick" to jump. This let me feel happy and strong at the same time. Your personality changes after this moment and you keep the strangeness and the happiness with you for a long time. Also the nice memories makes you feel good that you finally jumped down to the water. You can tell this story to even your children and grandchildren when you grow up. Furthermore you get more independent and inspired by the jump. This can be really good and helpful especially when you have conversations with people. You by yourself and your friends saw a side of you that they never saw before. People who saw this jump also learned to respect you and they know that you are able to do great things if you want to. This is really good for your personality. Also people who do not know you so well will have this in mind and respect you too. Getting respect is an important thing that allows you to develop yourself without getting ridiculed. This is very helpful for finding and being yourself and not anyone else. 

All in all it was a really nice experience and they are many good aspects that underline this. There are positive things that other people will think about you and positive things for yourself, which is the most important thing. As an example the increase of self confidence can be a great advantage to apply for a collage or a new job.You also have a big advantage speaking with people in general. All in all small moments in the daily life can be the biggest and most important moments for you and your personality.
