AHW

I glared at the high jump bar which was set a 3'6".  I can do this, I thought.  I was about to start my High Jump practice run.  I ran with slow yet strong strides in a big C.  Once I reached the green part on the red bar, I jumped.  All I could think about was, that I could never make it over.  Then I realized that I was soaring over the bar.  Not crashing into it like I had imagined.  I felt a wave of happiness once I fell onto the mat, with the rod untouched.  I had made it over the high jump!
