My BIG Jump into an Adventure Addiction

Over the past year and a half at Farmingdale State College I acquired many different new friends throughout my classes. One friend in particular that I met was in my Anatomy class, his name was Telly. He was a veteran from the army and was coming back to school to become a PA(Physicians Asst). He helped pass anatomy with an A and me Telly and a few others in the class that studied together became great friends. On the side Telly works at Skydive Long Island in Calverton out on eastern LI. Ever since we all met Telly all he ever talked about was skydiving and his "summer office" and was always tried convincing us to come and jump with him. We all loved hearing his stories and seeing pictures but everyone still thought he was crazy, except me. I had always had an interest in adventurous activities, it started off small when i was younger and loved going camping and fishing but as I got older my outdoor adventure addiction kept getting stronger. I always told Telly that I wanted to come jump with him so even after 2 semesters of anatomy together I continued to stay in touch so that I would be able to one day fulfill my need for adrenaline.
