This is me and my friends.
We are all at the school pool during swimming time.
this photo was taken in 2013.
We are all swimming.
It is wear we swim.

I feel the salty sea breeze against my cold face.

I take a deep breath in I smell the salty water.

I look up and see the clouds caving in.

My eye catches a glimpse of the glistening water.

I touch the cold grey rocks.

The taste of adventure sneaks into my mouth!

My stomach is bubbling up with happiness

I LOVE THE BOULDER BANK !!!

    CROSS COUNTRY  

My legs spin round and round I keep on staring at the ground.

I turn to the side to talk to Maia I think I can feel my heart on fire.

I get a glimpse of the finish line I hope I didn’t take too much time.

I go to Sheryll to get my place, there’s so many sand-flies on my face.

I feel really good about my placing, I don’t want to do anymore racing.

I can see my dad looking for me, I really hope he bought the car keys.

I hop in the car and drive away, I think why couldn’t we have cross country another day.
