"No Diving"


"Are you guys supposed to be doing that?" A curious onlooker asked with a reproachful look.

"Can't you read lady, the sign says NO DIVING, we're jumping," and with that, the guy did exactly that".

On a recent trip my family and I came across a crowd of excited teenagers, on the edge of the bridge bracing to jump. We decided to pause and watch the show. A friend walked by and snickered remembering the times when he was their age and jumping off the bridge himself.

Slowly one by one mustered up the courage to jump off, and the more they did, the more people came, for the free entertainment. After a while some girls came up to the edge of the bridge and stood there for ten minutes, contemplating whether to go or not. After they decided to go it was very timid, but fun to watch.

I had a much better time that going around sightseeing, and overall I would have to say that the community activities, were more fun than anything else. So I would encourage anybody looking for fun to check out your local activities. You will get a better chance to meet more people in your community. Try an art class (I only just found out that my own town has an art program), or volunteer. It really makes you appreciate your community, and is a great way to spend that precious free time of yours.
Sincerely,
D
