As I looked at the beautiful Singapore countryside below me, tears sprang into my eyes, tears of pure joy. I had won. As I floated I remembered all my drills again and began to control my gliding. When I landed, my comrades were upon me laughing and shouting. I could see that they were as happy as I was that I had overcome the greatest enemy of man - fear.
Later my instructor landed and gave me a large grin. "I knew you could do it" he said as he slapped my back. I mumbled my thanks and then we ran to the truck. "When do we do it again, sir?" I asked my instructor. His reply was drowned in the shouting of my comrades.
