I travelled to Mumbai last summer before New year eve, there I decided to have lessons of diving. I first fell in love with the feeling of weightlessness I experienced when I flew off the diving board into the air and the adrenaline rush I felt after successfully completing a new dive for the first time. Defying the laws of gravity and flipping more times in midair than I thought was humanly possible only added to my excitement. Before I could continue doing what I loved however, I first had to overcome my fear of being outside of my comfort zone. With uncharacteristic courage, I overlooked my aversion to throwing myself into the unknown and entered the pool, not knowing anyone else there. This single action opened the door to an abundance of new experiences that are now an inseparable piece of my identity, and not once have I regretted my decision. Diving has enhanced my self-confidence in innumerable ways. Overcoming my initial qualms about trying something new proved that I could face any challenge. Rather than shying away from competition, I now welcome the thrill of performing under pressure. It has been exhilarating to watch myself improve with every year and learn harder dives, and knowing that I am capable of accomplishing any feat with determination, patience, and hard work. Difficult workouts also brought my teammates and I closer together. Belonging to a team allowed me to form relationships with friends I would otherwise have not met. I thought that my journey will not be a fruitful one but the moment I have been looking throughout my lifetime finally came and I came across my strengths and weakness. However, at first I was not comfortable but later I felt I am made for it.
