situation: I have such a fear of heights.  So when my husband kindly bought me a skydiving voucher for my 30th birthday I was slightly anxious and uneasy.  I of course thought of the worst! I travelled up in the plane with the lovely instructors who of course tried everything in their power to reassure me but to no avail. I was so nervous and panicky.  However I am so glad I did it!  After the initial panic when we jumped, it was actually one of the most amazing experiences of my life!
