The experience of swim
When I was younger, everything seemed strange and attractive to me, as it were, I like to try all new things. I was also curious about the things around me. In a word, I liked to experience something new and exciting.
There was an unforgettable experience in my childhood. It happened on a hot summer afternoon. The sun glared down with merciless intensity on the whole earth. As the temperature got higher, I became more and more restless, as if the soul of mine had been removed from my body. I didn’t want to do anything, I just want to find a shady spot where I can keep cool. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head that why not get some fun with my partners.
After assembling a group of friends, we were determined to go swimming and we ran to a river rapidly. Because of the shortage of age, we didn’t feel shy at all, we just wanted to dive into the water as fast as we can. I jumped into river like a thirst fish. Although I cannot swim, I had a strong desire for practice. When I was just about to have a try and I had no idea why I had fellen down into the water and I drank a lot of water. Out of conditioned reflex, I struggled like crazy in water. Fortunately, I stood up finally and took in the fresh air. To tell the truth, I was in shadow of fear at that time. I turned toward my friends, they were enjoying the fun of water and
everyone put a smile on their faces. Perhaps because of their laughter, the fear to water came to an end gradually. I decided to try it again, I copied their moves and try to display by my practice. Some of them swam like a free fresh, like a sharp frog, like a curly snake, they looked so cool at that moment. Out of security, I was careful to practise and repeat the practicing over and over again. After a while, I could swim like them and I could swim to anywhere I like to. It was then that I screamed with excitement.
By being through this experience, I had found I was much more confident. It was a meaningful thing in my childhood. I realized if we want to do something successfully, we need to learn from those who are better than you. In addition, consistency is also a key factor, because of the final success only by consistency.
