Asayounggirlgrowingupinthe1930s,Ialwayswantedtoflyaplane,butbackthenitwasalmostunhear...
As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001. When my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that they were having an essay competition and the topic was experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.
In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Bush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn't believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.
On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had even been in, but I wasn't frightened -- I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, "What have I gotten myself into?" But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before jay opened the parachute (降落伞), then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt -- much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.
Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don't stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there is something you want to experience, look into it. If it's something that is possible, make it happen. 展开

随便翻了一下,希望能帮助你理解。
作为一位成长与19世纪30年代的女孩,我一直想开飞机。但是那时一个女人来做这样的事情是闻所未闻的。2001年,我终于尝试了一次。我的丈夫为我准备了一次乘坐热气球作为我的生日礼物。但是那次经历让我觉得非常无聊。大约在那时候,我告诉我丈夫有一个作文比赛,比赛的题目是“你想拥有的生活的一次体验”,我决定写写我的梦想。
在那篇论文里,我写了我想高空跳伞的愿望,并写到老布什在80岁高龄时曾做过这件事。我为什么不能这样呢?我才84岁,而且身体健康。一年过去,我没有收到任何回信。但是在2009年4月末的一个社区聚会上,他们宣布我是众多获奖者之一。我简直难以相信。受到这件事的鼓舞,我决定去实现我的梦想,即使我的几个家人和医生都不支持。
2009年6月11日,将近40个我的家人朋友聚集在我准备驾驶的飞机会着陆的地方。我的教练Jay指导了我这次驾驶的全过程。这架飞机是我所乘坐的飞机中最吵的一架,但我丝毫不感到害怕。我仅仅对这次活动感到无限的向往。当我们到达13000英尺的时候,Jay指导我跳出机舱。当我第一次接触到机外的空气时,风很大以至于我无法呼吸。一会儿过后我想,“我是要把自己处于怎样的境地啊!”但是接着一切都变得平静了。在Jay打开降落伞前,我们自由降落了大概1分钟,然后我们向下飘了大概5分钟。飘在云层中,看着下面的美景,这种感受与我以前所经历的一切都不同,比在热气球上的感觉好多了。现在,我真的在享受这次的经历。
高空跳伞绝对是我一生中最棒的经历。我希望其他人能够看看我,然后领悟到人不能因为自己已经84岁而停止享受生活。如果有什么是你想经历的,去了解它,如果这件事是可能发生的,那么就让它发生。
