The world’s oldest skydiver – level 3
06-10-2023 15:00
Dorothy Hoffner, a Chicago resident who’s approaching her 105th birthday, recently embarked on an incredible adventure.
She took a daring step of parachuting from an airplane and described the experience as wonderful and delightful.
Her courage and zest for life are truly inspiring. What’s even more fascinating is that, despite her age, Hoffner is already contemplating her next escapade. She shared her desire to take a ride in a hot air balloon, a new experience she’s yet to enjoy. It’s a testament to her unwavering spirit and her determination to make the most of life’s adventures.
Hoffner’s story serves as a heartwarming reminder that age is no barrier to pursuing one’s dreams and embracing new challenges with enthusiasm.
Difficult words: zest (enthusiasm, energy or excitement), escapade (an exciting or adventurous act), unwavering (firm and not changing).
