Spring break, that’s what student all like to hear when it’s coming up soon. So like many student and teenagers we all like to go somewhere for spring break with our friends. So a group of us decided to go and jump off the New River Gorge Bridge. We all wanted to do it, no doubt in our minds. We all had jobs, to pay for our own way to go. There were 10 of us that were expected to go on the trip. We had 2 weeks until spring break; we were all seniors, waiting on a blast of fun. Time went by, and then it came, we all made plans to meets up at Ally’s house after school. Ally was my best friend; we have known each other for 10 years now. I was on my way home from school, getting ready to go down to Ally’s house she lived about ten minutes from me. When I got to Ally’s house she seemed nervous, I asked what was wrong and she said “she was kind of scared to jump off the bridge.” I told it will be fine; everyone has to do something crazy at least once in their life. Every one finally made it to ally’s, we were all very excited; it was about a 2 hours drive from ally’s house. Few hours later we finally made it, so we went and checked into the hotel, and got everything unpacked. We all agreed to go out to eat after we get unpacked. We went to eat at Applebee’s, which I was very happy because that’s my favorite place to it. We all decided that we were going in the morning to jump off the bridge, I was so excited: I just couldn’t wait. I set the alarm for 7:00 am and I and Ally had shared a hotel room, so I got her up to get ready for our big adventure that was set for that day. Jimmy called me and said for everyone to meet down in the lobby by 8:30am. Time came, traveling down the road, getting more excited every mile we travel. A few minutes later we made it, everyone jumping out of the vehicles getting excited. Then our trainer we had to tell us what to do ask who was going first, I immediately spoke out “Me first, me first.” All set up, nervously shaking ,I got to the platform that I was going to jump off and stood there for a few seconds, closed my eyes, and just let go. Falling from the sky felt so good, I loved the feeling of jumping off that bridge, it made me feel like I was flying. Today I still remember that feeling and I plan on going back this summer and jumping off the bridge again, just so I can feel the feeling again. So my note to everyone is to do something in your life while it lasts, and remember it.
