The double black diamond
This has been quite recent and not as brave than someone who took a risk and saved someone's life, but brave enough to be encouraged. Well the story was in a ski resort in muju, the trip was accompanied by the dorm so my R.A, Mr. Eric came along too. I have learned how to ski for about 2 years so I was kind of bored by the low sloped mountains, so I went to the highest mountain(double black diamond) with Mr. Eric. At first I thought 'It's not gonna be a big deal' but when the lift took almost 10 minutes and saw the people falling down the immensley high mountain I was quite afraid. But still I wasn't that amazed by the slope until I phisically saw it with my own eyes I said to myself "What have I put myself into?!" Yes it was high enough that you could only hear the swishing of the cold dry winds and high enough you coudn't see the end of the slope. But still if I didn't get down their I would have probably been discouraged, so I tok the courage and went down the slope at first very slowly. Because it was so high up all the snow turned into ice and my ski's couldn't really turn as well on the snow and that was when I had slipped and fell down for the first time when I started to get good at skiing. The slope was so high and slippery that when I fell down i kept on sliding down it, after about sliding 30 meters I tried to get up and that was when Mr. Eric fell down too. We both got up and started to head down again. The winds were so strong it looked like a blizzard raging in your eyes. but down to the point where there were more people around I was comfortable skiing at a great speed. And finally for skiing about 30 minutes I came down to the end of the slope. Meanwhile Mr. Eric fell down again so it took him about 5 minutes more. I was quite proud of myself of taking the courage and going on it rather than not attempting to go on it. And I feel thankful for my mom because if she didn't send me to ski camp I wouldn't even went on the ski trip. THis will probably be a memory for all my life.
