Traveling Persuasive Speech

Decent Essays
While traveling abroad, most of the travelers work hard to calm their parents' fears.

However, the case is different with Roger Ryan. Originally from Ireland, he while on a trip around the world jumped (literally) at the chance to take part in a 14,000-foot skydive with a twist!

While jumping out of an airplane, the Irish visitor to Australia Skyped his parents Pat and Mary, much to their hilariously endearing (and expletive-laden) dismay.

Totally surprised, Ryan's dad yells. "I thought he was in a bus!"
