Fuming I said “ it’s 5:00 am and somebody’s ringing the bell ” I looked outside and saw a package near my doorstep surprised I went down the stairs and opened and found three sets of drawers. I wondered why somebody would send me furniture? But I quietly made space for it the next morning and I used it to keep my accessories inside.


I was going to a party and needed my favorite earrings. I opened one of my drawers and something caught my eye. A tear rolled down my cheek and my makeup got smudged up. I found a picture of mine with my parents and my brother near the parasail, It was my fondest memory of Goa. It was all because of my family that I could do what I am most proud of.


I was ten that time we were on a beach in Goa. My brother wanted to do parasailing, I wanted to do it too. My brother gave me the inspiration and my mom and dad were encouraging enough that I was convinced that I could do this so I did. Beneath all my excitement I was nervous. I wore a safety vest and took off. Boy was I scared but my brothers were smiling from below, my mother nervous but proud and my dad cheering for me as if I just won the Olympics. I was up in the air already when I realised that the string connecting to the sail had broken. I did not know what to do, my heart was in my mouth, I was scared to death. I didn’t have a good feeling about this.


I was told by the guide that I must land in the water. I didn’t know swimming and I completely froze. I was scared, frightened and almost passed out. My irrational fear of water didn’t help. I slowly opened the safety vest and got ready to land in the water, I let go and splash!!! There was a huge noise as I landed. I quickly poked my head through the water and l realised I had been swimming.


Was I saved? Oh yes, I was !!! Not only did I land safely but I somehow managed to save myself by swimming. I was the happiest person that day.


This adventure had brought me both self confidence and strength and it was something I wouldn’t have gotten If I wouldn’t have had this adventure
