A Risk Worth Taking

A risk I took without a second thought

It was the annual camp of girl guides at Doddaballapur. we were trying out various activities. The was the rope bridge with one rope to walk on and one to hold on. None of us willing to take the risk of walking across. what did forget to tell you is beneath was a river.

No doubt, there were life savers around but the fear factor was strong.

I was a very adventurous 14yr.old. I finally decided to attempt the cross, I got half way when a friend of mine decided to join me, when I went three quarter distance she fell into the river, without another thought i jumped in to pull her out. I got her to the shore believe me that was a risk worth taking it built my own sense of courage, I could feel a mite good about myself despite constantly being told how I do not meaure up.Most important I made a friend for life.
