I have always been a thrill seeking person, and sky diving has been a thing I always wanted to do. When I finally got my chance, I couldn’t pass it up. My friends and I went to Florida during spring break. We were going to try something new for all of us. We were going to sky dive. It was a perfect April day for sky diving. The weather was nice and there wasn’t a cloud in sight, and no storms were going to be approaching anytime soon. We all drove down there together. Chris’s mom took us. We talked nonstop about our new task and betted each other 15 dollars if we did not follow with our plan and sky dive from 35,000 feet in the sky. The 15 hour trip took forever, but we passed the time away by listening to music, texting friends, and sleeping. When we got into Florida, we stopped and ate a small meal at Barnacles, a seafood restaurant. When we got done, we went to our hotel and then toured Tampa Bay.

Our thrill adventure was to begin that Saturday. For the next couple days, we swam, visited the ocean, played some beach football, and visited the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football stadium ...

  • The Subculture of Scuba Divers

    1710 Words  | 4 Pages

    The activity of scuba diving has a short history because most of its popularity only dates back to about the 1950’s. Although most of scuba diving’s known history dates back about 60 years, it has been around for many decades (Ed LaRochelle, 2009). Many media sources such as magazines, cartoons, and movie publishers began portraying scuba divers as being apart of a mystical world that contained deep-sea creatures and featured action figures such as Frogman (Ed LaRochelle, 2009). These media sources allowed publishers to begin to get the word out about this new and exciting activity, which began to spark people’s interests. By the end of the 1950’s, these media sources began to display a more realistic depiction of what scuba divers actually did (Ed LaRochelle, 2009). They b...

  • Personal Narrative: My Canoeing Experience

    573 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Come on, “ my counselor Emily screamed from shore. The quick rapids made it very difficult to dig our paddles into the river. My cabin was stopping to eat lunch on our Tuesday canoeing trip. On Saturday, we had traveled down to Brownstown, Indiana for a week full of friends, fun, and God. My church stayed at a retreat center called Pyoca. Every year on Tuesday, we would go on a canoeing or rafting trip depending on the water levels. Emily, Annabelle, my canoeing partner, and I sat along the sand bank waiting for other canoes to come in. Many other groups slowly went by, while we patiently waited for other groups to come in. I was so hungry, I couldn’t wait. Canoeing had zapped all of my energy, and had made me really hungry. I began to quickly wade out into the river, so I could help the other canoes come in faster. Someone screamed, “Be careful” from the bank. Nate Epple, a counselor of

  • Personal Narrative: My Cruise To The Bahamas

    485 Words  | 1 Pages

    This past summer, my family and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. We had just docked at the second port, Nassau, and were preparing to exit the gigantic ship named the Carnival Fantasy. Once we got to the city, I noticed it was bustling with people of all different backgrounds and cultures. The roads were narrow and some even hilly. I remember coming to the conclusion that a lot of people in the Bahamas must have road rage what from the blaring car horns I could hear around every corner. My family and I were walking along the sidewalk, glancing into shops as we passed them. The weather was unbearably hot, but growing up in South Carolina allowed my family and I to push onward with our adventure. The sun burn on my back started to pulsate in pain any time the sunlight hit it, so we decided to stick to the side of the buildings that provided shade.

    Completing an ultramarathon a feat for anyone. However, for a 16 year old girl it seemed impossible. So why not? As a varsity cross country runner I am no stranger to running. The contradictory love-hate relationship strains the mind and body like to no other. My Junior year I started falling out of love with cross country, the distances, the races, and the running in general had gotten monotonous. I live by the phrase “You must be comfortable with being uncomfortable.” I constantly seek new challenges pushing myself beyond normal bounds. I wanted to do something incredible, so when I saw a sign for a 50k (31.5 mile) race in a few months I knew that it will be perfect!

Usually, on these camping trips, I would be accompanied by a large number of people. However, this time, it was just my parents, my three brothers, and my two sisters.

    I decided to initiate my search in careers within the marine conservation sector, as this is a field that I have had interest in since I had the opportunity to scuba dive in Vietnam a few years ago. I aspire to do some travelling after university and get as much experience as possible. I thought researching into paid jobs within a volunteer conservation organization would give me some insight into what I could expect if I follow those aspirations.
