I don't mind risks, I really don't. Maybe that's why I felt my knees bend when I was thousands of feet above the ground on top of Angels Landing southern Utah. It just looked so fun to just jump... obviously I didn't because I wouldn't be around to write this. At Jensen's dam there are several cliffs. There is an anchor of wood and people can repel off the side of the cliff. It's not that high of a cliff but high enough for the sharp rocks at the bottom to kill someone. Other people would never jump off a cliff even if they were attached to several ropes. People like me would love too, the exhilaration and joy they find bouncing off cliffs is just to fun to resist. I don't really realize how people don't like heights, to me its if you fall off, the height will kill you so quick you don't even realize when you hit the ground. I don't mind the risks I think it would just be dandy. If I could pick the way I would die it would either be death in my sleep or death by heights. Some people just hate the feeling of falling. I don't understand it but apparently those afraid of heights do. If you ask bethtwilight apparently she agrees that heights are horrible things. I love them.

A) in the dictionary it states that legacy is the amount of money that is inherited when someone passes on. In my opinion legacy is what the person left behind but not money. Maybe someones legacy was what they did, maybe it was their lives work, something they are rememberd by.
The Richmond center is one of the largest centers they made for the 2010 olympics and one of the permanent structures that has been designed. The building itself is 47,526 square metres, designed for several sports. the question we are asked is this is this a premier legacy.
I would have to say, yes its the legacy you are giving your children and children's children, Your leaving behind somthing they will like, enjoy and somthing that you are rememberd by. Their Richmond building will be a cornerstone for the legacy of the 2010 olympics. They will be rememberd by keeping their building and to continue to enjoy the recreation provided from this.
