Rope a Dope
As I fell violently down from the platform, my heart thumping loud in my ears, the thought that crossed my mind was not what I expected. After dropping almost 20 feet with my partner the steel mesh wire tightened and began to swing us out over the hillside and up into the massive trees growing outside of Salem, OR. As our bodies began to fall back towards earth we were over 80 feet off the ground, but it felt as if it were 500. Instead of yelling or crying out for help a distinguishable nose lept from my mouth. MOOOOOOO! This strange sound is what all Eager Fushia Bearcats make when they are startled or excited. I was not excited. Today was one of the most fun, distressing, limit pushing days I can remember. Hopefully, the rest of my MBA experience will mirror my thought as I was plummeting towards earth, “I can’t wait to do this again.”
