Abseiling

I took the final step up the stairs. The instructor - Shawn - called me up. I was feeling sick: I felt like I was going to fall off. As he buckled me into the karabiners, I felt my stomach drop. Proud, the instructor saw fear in my eyes so he calmed me down. Everyone, who was cheering for me, sat below looking nine meters up at me. I turned my back at every one and started to walk down the tower. Once I jumped I felt like I was down. I looked down and realized I was no where near done. I started feeling shivers down my spine. I got down - as two friends helped me get out of the harness - I looked up and couldn't believe what I had done. I couldn't wait to start the next activity as I faced my fear of heights.
