Today I'd like to talk about an outdoor activity that was a remarkable achievement in my life. In October 2012, we went to Rishikesh and joined a group that decided to visit the river and go river rafting. During our time practicing river rafting, we went on a mountain where there was cliff jumping. Some of the team members were doing it, and I decided to try it because it would be a lifetime experience and create a nostalgic memory, which is an achievement for me. So I decided to go for it. When I jumped from the mountain, it felt like a breathless situation, especially since I don't know how to swim. Even though I had a life jacket, I wasn't sure if it would work properly. At the same time, I was worried about my family and what might happen. Basically, I was scared of doing it and thinking about all the possible scenarios in my life. But somehow, I managed to push myself to jump. After that, I went deep into the water. It was unbelievable that I was unconscious for the first 15 seconds while I was underwater. When I came up, I felt delighted and grateful to the team members for helping me achieve this incredible experience.
