Taking the plunge
The first time I climbed up to the high dive I was too afraid to jump off. Thankfully, the impatient kid behind me ran up behind me and tackled me off the board. We tumbled into the cool, deep water in a cross between football and diving. When I surfaced from the water, I laughed and then regained my composure and punched boy that knocked me off.
Although I'm not a kid anymore, I took a major plunge last night as well. I stood at the end of the proverbial diving board and realized it was better to jump off blindly than to wait to climb down. I'm not sure if I will hit the water or the concrete, but either is better than just standing on the board.
