        One day, our teacher said that he had an exercise for us to try. We were to stand, facing away from our classmates, and fall backward, relying (依赖) on another student to catch us. Most of us were uncomfortable with this. We couldn't fall back for more than a few inches before stopping ourselves.

        Finally, Judy gave it a try. She is a thin, quiet, dark-haired girl who always wears big white sweaters. Judy crossed her arms over her chest, closed her eyes, leaned back, and did not stop. She looked like one of the TV ads where the model jumps into the pool.

        For a moment, I was sure she was going to fall onto the floor. At the last moment, her partner grabbed her head and shoulders and pulled her up immediately.

        "Whoa!" several students yelled. Some clapped their hands. Our teacher finally smiled. "You see," he said to the girl. "You closed your eyes. That was the difference. Sometimes you cannot believe what you see. You have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other person trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too – even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling."
