Answer:
I still can remember that day; the memory is fresh on my mind. It was during the summer holidays of 2017. I was with my family in Hawaii. We decided to go to a beach with clifts.
The beach was one of the nicest places I have ever seen. The blue water, the palm trees, the sun shining above my head, warming the white sand under my bare feet, it was such a nice place. The most peculiar thing about that beach was the cliff and how the people jumped from it to the sea. Some locals were experts and did some tricks while on the air; others just dived straight into the water.
I had been watching all of them along with my brother. We were lying on the sand, under a shade, when he tells me -I bet that you would never jump from there, you are always scared of everything- I felt offended, so, I told him - Well you are wrong, to prove my point, I'm going to jump. What about you?-
He looked at me with a shocked expression, and when I stood up, he did too. Silently we walked towards the cliff. Ten minutes later, we were there, it was much higher than what I had thought, but I couldn't go back.
My brother looked at me and told me -See you- Then he stood on the edge, and with a jump in the air, he was gone. Now it was my turn. My heart was beating fast; my palms were sweating; I was on the cliff's edge but couldn't dare to move. It was so simple, I just had to give a little jump, but I couldn't.
Suddenly, a local man came to me and told me -I was as scared as you, the first time, but trust me, it is one of the best feelings in the world. 5-year-old kids are jumping. If they can do it, you can too-
I took a deep breath and jumped. I was in the air, flying, the wind was on my face, I felt free. Then, I felt something cold and wet touch my feet, my legs, and the rest of my body. I did it!.
Once I had emerged from under the water, I looked at my brother and told him - let's do it again!-.
It was the most fearful experience I have had, but I am thankful that I faced my fear and jumped. It made me realize that I can do anything that I want and that the limits are in my head. I have to be brave enough to face them.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a narrative essay, we have to describe an experience such as an anecdote, or we can tell a story. In this case, we describe a fearful experience, which was jumping from a cliff.
The narrative has to be in chronological order. We have to describe all the previous events that led us to the principal part of the narrative, which was the jumping moment. We have to tell the reader how the story ends. Also, in the last paragraph, we have to write a reflection about that situation.
Describing the feelings and the place is an important part of the narrative since it helps the reader to imagine the scenario and comprehend what you felt in that moment.
