One day I was at my sister’s friend’s house. They had a pool in the back. I told my mom this was the day I was going to go off the diving board. I went up and I hesitated. Then I looked down. It felt like a long, long, long, long, long jump.
I jumped and after 2 seconds I was looking at people’s legs. I was so happy in the moment but a little bit scared. It felt like there was zero gravity. I went straight up and my mom smiled back. Then I told her I was going to do a cannonball, then I was going to do a double 360, then a 360 in to a 180. I felt so happy cause I can do all of those. Now I am doing bike tricks and I feel so brave. I even am going off my steps. My butt hurts sometimes. But, know you can do more things than you think you can!
Hi Landon,
This is a fabulous example of a time when you had to reach deep down inside yourself and find some strong determination. I like how you shared your feelings before, during and after. Each courageous step we takes helps us take more and more.
Thank you for sharing your story!
