Life or Death

"Here let me help you," Emily one of the student teachers was going to help me go up a rope that was hung over the water.

"Okay. Thanks," I grab the spiky soaking rope. I put my foot through one little hole in the rope. I finally start to clime up. I let go by my feet and now I'm hanging by my arms only. I pull up with my body and finally get a good place for my foot to hold me up right.

"Ready Madison?" Em asks me starting to pull be back up toward the beach. I look back to the bottom.

Oh my gosh I'm totally up high, I thought. I looked back to Em and told her, "Ready."

She lets me go. I go. I'm practically flying in the air just holding onto a rope. I can't believe I'm doing this.

I'm finally at the right place to let go of the rope were I'm ready to let go of my life, to let go of my sole, to let go of my safety. I let go of the rope and feel the air rush by me. All of a sudden I splashed the water all over my body. I feel coldness from the hot day sunny day. My but hits the sand on the bottom of the ocean. I flip my feet to the sand and push my body out of the water as if I was ripping myself out of ropes that have tied me down. I come up out safe and push my hair back.

"Woohoo!" I kind of yell from the water that was streaming down my face over my mouth.

"Yeah Madison," some of the student teachers said as I was fixing my bikini from my jump.

After I went some of them did it and so did I.
