Blog Post 2

I read an article tonight on MSNBC's website titled "Skydiver describes in-air death of instructor" by the Associated Press.  This article talks all about how a man named Daniel Pharr, 25 years old was strapped while skydiving to his dying instructor.   A few thousand feet above the ground he realized he was heading directly for a trees and trying not to panic steered himself away and landed safely.  As soon as he landed he immediately gave his dying instructor CPR, though he gave it his all the instructor still died.  I feel that Daniel gave it his all and did everything eh possibly could have to keep himself and his instructor safe, and then try to keep his instructor alive.  Though his instructor did end up dying i still feel it takes a lot of courage and a lot of guts to do what he did.  Daniel didn't overcome any THING so to speak, but he overcame his fear and self doubt.  Which in some ways is more prominent!
