history: I was scared to skydive, but the instructor reassured me with his 15 years of experience.  Have you ever tried skydiving before? I haven't_comma_ but it's definitely on my bucket list! I thought I was going to pee my pants until the instructor told me how many years of experience he has under his belt.  I bet it helped having someone there who knew what they were doing. 
current: yeah, it is. 15 years and over 500 jumps helped ease my anxiety lol
next: I have a friend who recently became certified as an instructor. He jumps almost every weekend. He will be taking me when I go!
