The bright yellow light of the sunlight beamed right into my eyes. Half blinded I adjusted to my surroundings. I sat up and looked around, I fixed my tousled hair. Looking up at Devon and Anthony past asleep I knew I was up early. My phone had no signal and was at the point of dying. I turned around and see danny wide awake. He smiled big and said goodmorning . We greeted each other and gave a tight hug. We both got up and began to see what was going to happen at our last day in Wisconsin. We over heard Danny’s sister Elsie saying to dress up and be ready in the car after breakfast. with a puzzled look we dressed and headed for breakfast and I watched Danny eat his.Finishing his last piece of bacon he said he was ready. I had no clue of what. …show more content…
Minutes later we settled in the car. It was all trees and we were making a turn to a large place that had huge rocks. It looked very beautiful. We parked out and stepped out onto the sand. We were all going to climb rocks. I was scared I never climbed rocks before and I had a little fear of heights. Danny held my hand and tried to comfort me to come. They all began to climb. I couldn't see anyone but Danny reaching down for me. Holding tight I used the little upper body strength I had to pull myself over each rock. Each rock got steeper and higher. The ground was farther and I felt that if one wrong move and I would blend in with the trees. At birth I was operated from pulmonary stenosis, two holes in the heart causing the most important valve in the heart to not work or function blood. A lot of stress or surprise caused difficulties to take and make it hard for my heart. It's like a heart attack yet the symptoms were different. I really wished to get down. Elsie was at the very top with her fiance. I stayed close with Anthony and Devon. Danny kept hopping around rocks. Something I wouldn't have the courage to. Danny startled me when he jumped up behind me, he had checked the whole path. It was safe and I trusted him. We moved past big and different forms of rocks then after a while we met up at a point. What was next was the way …show more content…
The path had sand and leaves. Little branches and nets surrounded to but when you looked the other way you saw the rode long that extended far and the houses. They all moved fast down the path. I saw their bodies disappearing after passing the rock that blocked the whole way. I could see Danny's broad shoulders moving in front of me and I took a step and another slowly. When it came to the third step, my tom slipped and I was at the point of falling right into those trees and boulders. I wasn't ready to die and I was sure of it. No one would survive a fall from this high. I felt myself slipping till Danny reached out for me. He blocked my view of falling. I was terrified one wrong move and both of us would

    The Jump Five minutes was all it took to walk up the stairs to the top of the cave. Through the entirety of the walk I debated with myself; I wondered, if I should take the jump or if I should let fear take over, once again. The jump site was astounding. It was beautiful in every single way; it was bright and exuberant with colorful trees; which, I could not fathom how they had not fallen into the abyss. It was also beautifully dangerous with dark, sharp rocks hovering over foreign waters.…

    The land looked majestic, like it was out of a dream. The land was lush with trees and greenery, while a thick fog covered the tops of the cliffs. I tied my boat off and started to climb the cliffs. I knew that no one had lived to tell what was behind the cloud, but still I climbed. When I was young, my mother told me stories about men who ran away and never returned.…

    I had climbed the cliff numerous times before, but my dad went over this speech everytime we went there, to insure that the concept was engraved in our brains. The cliff was about 30 ft. high, so it was pretty easy to climb. Since I had done this before, I reached the top in about 2 minutes. When I reached the top for the fourth time, my cousin and I were right next to each other, when we saw another cliff, which was about the same height, but it was on the other side of the cliff that we initially climbed. We thought that it was a pretty easy climb, and it would be a new experience, so we went down to the bottom of that…

    Vigorously, my brother and I raced to the man-made stairs that took us to the top of the cliffs. Low hanging tree branches covered the area; my brother seemed to gracefully push them out of his way while I somehow managed to get my hair tangled in them and arms scraped. With every step I took, I watched as the some loose rocks tumbled down the noticeably steep peak. Finally reaching the edge, we gazed upon the tops of the oak trees and observed our sister, her fiancé, and our mom cheering us on. The countdown began and we leapt off the red rock terrain and plunged into the deep, chilling water.…

    The ground spit and I was free-falling through a muck-filled tube like Santa Claus sliding down the chimney. I would love to lie and say that I had some profound epiphany on my way down. That I laughed in the face of danger while singing “Que Sera-Sera.” But my only thought was Eeeekkkkk as a landslide of beetles, gnarled roots, monstrous purple earthworms, and red dirt tumbled in and out of view. Then dread knowing that I was about to end up lost…

In the end, that very moment in time was probably my favorite and most memorable moment from that past summer.…
