In 1952 there were multiple fantastic films that made it a close competition for best picture. I narrowed down my list of movies to The Quiet Man‚ High Noon‚ and The Greatest Show on Earth.

mean death. 11 years of ski lessons had cultivated to this one moment. My life was on the line‚ yet a wave of excitement shook me. I took a look down at the jump that had come to dominate Joe’s backyard‚ replacing his childhood swing set. The jump was sizable‚ but not gargantuan. From previous hits I noticed its “poppy” lip - skier talk for a jump that sends you up rather than out - which is ideal for the trick I was about to attempt: a backflip.

What if I never decided to jump on the trampoline or go downstairs? Everything would change‚ I wouldn’t even have to be writing this essay at the moment.
