I've always been a big fan
of diving, so when the most primitive thought of doing it in the sky or deep in
the ocean entered my mind I was certain that I would one day have the privilege
to check those off of my bucket list.

The sweet citrus smell
filling up my lungs, and the soft breeze slowly shifting my hair. I was
walking down the beach, ready to finally go scuba diving. I've never done it
before, I thought, only the training pool lessons, but nothing like this.
Slowly but surely a weird feeling started creeping over me and my once bright,
joyful smile had turned into an awkward looking, almost flat 'U'. My skin was
suddenly moist and sticky and my stomach was getting dizzy. I stopped, looking
for someone to hold on to but everyone was far ahead of me. I ran as fast as I
could, not caring about my throbbing head and my blurry vision. I reached the
dock, where everyone was getting ready. Why isn’t everyone afraid, why aren’t
they nervous? “Okay," I told myself, "get yourself ready and don't be
a chicken." I sighed, releasing every oxygen cell and every ounce of fear
in my body; this was going to be a day to remember.

Ceci,
ReplyDeleteI loved that you used really different words that I have never heard before and they are really unique and cool. I also loved your story and how you explained every details of the day and I really got attached into the story. It seems so real that I can't tell weather its true or false. You make it feel like its a true story since your saying it in such detail like if you know exactly whats happening. Loved it! Keep up the good work!

I loved that you used descriptive words to describe what you were talking about! I like how you didn't just write something but you made a short story out of it. I really loved all the details and juicy words you used! I love how the pictures go along with the story! I think that the pictures yo chose were great!
