I never thought of doing that

I never thought of doing that. I’m afraid of heights; well, I was. When I was a child I didn’t like rides at all. Rides in a park, you know, like a roller coaster with loops and heavy height. Actually, I was afraid of any height, even walking around a soft hill or a not excessively high roof.

But one day, in my 21st birthday, my friends made me a joke and —with a blindfold over my eyes— got me on a plane. I still don’t know what happened, perhaps the panic or the effect of 13.000 feet in my brain. Anyhow, something changed in my mind and I jumped there —beyond my instructor! I enjoyed every second of the free fall. It was a magical feeling of flying like a bird. When I reached the ground I wanted to do again. I became an addict.

Since then, I needed to jump more and more often. But jumping is so expensive that I decided to join the skydiving academy and became a parachute instructor. After twice advanced training courses I got a job in the same place where I had jumped the first time. Do you want me to be your instructor?
