My First Skydiving Experience

Skydiving is an adrenaline sport or activity that many of us may have as something to do from our bucket list. The whole experience starts with all kinds of emotions from the beginning you either sign up for it or from the moment you step into the door.

Jumping out of an aircraft can be scary, but when you set your mind to do something that can lead to an amazing experience is when it turns into an adrenaline rush of excitement. An excitement that you start thinking “I can’t believe I am doing this” followed by a mixed of emotions.

As for me, I decided to fulfill one of the things I have been wanting to do, skydive, and especially in my hometown, El Paso, TX. As I entered the Skydive facility, I tried to pretend I was not panicking but it was hard not to show it when you know you’re about to jump out of an aircraft. Thanks to the people at Skydive El Paso, from the lady at the front desk to the skydivers, my emotions went from panicking, to staying calm, and from knowing this was the most amazing thing I have ever done! The entire staff had an impact on how my first skydive experience went.

Thanks to them, I do believe they were the ones who made this experience memorable and amazing. Believe me, nothing could have prepared me for this adrenaline of skydiving but them. They walked me through everything I had to know and the moment they opened the door to jump, I knew I was ready to do it. As we jump out of the plane, you feel like you’re falling but flying, and the moment he opens the parachute and controls it, you’re at ease hanging from the sky enjoying your beautiful city.

It’s a slow but fast pace and peaceful moment you get to enjoy above in the sky making you feel speechless of this wonderful experience. As I got near the ground and landed, all I can do is smile and think to myself, “Did I really just do this”. Skydiving might not be something many will do, but if you ask for my opinion, I would tell you it is one of the most amazing things you will ever do and won’t regret.
