Journal#11.Write about a favorite memory from your childhood.
I honestly am afraid of water! When i was a child, 5 or 6 years old, I and my dad went to the lake, he was trying to help me to learn to swim. My dad loves water and he learned to swim when he was a child. It was a summer, beautiful day, I and my dad walked to the lake, I remember i took with me an air mattress. By the time we got there he had explained to me how he going to teach me to swim. He told me don't worry, just come with me in the water and you will see how it's easy to swim. So i told him i would like to lie in the mattress first and give me a little bit time to get used water. So by the time i was enjoying my mattress my dad took his time for swimming. i remember i was enjoying the hot summer day,i was lying on the mattress and didn't have a clue my dad was going to scare me.I was not far from the shore when my dad swam from under me and pushed me off from my mattress, and i started to sink under the water. But after seconds i felt some one pull my hair and it was my dad trying to find me under the water. since that day i'm still afraid to swim in open water.

AWW that sounds like my dad he trys to scare me and my sisters all the time one day that fear might go away just take it easy dont try and brake your fear it will go away someday. I hope it does for you.
That would scare me really bad. I had something similar happen when I was a child. My sister told me to get in the deep end and I didn't have my floaties on. I started to sink but my grandmother saved me. I can relate to you. I hope one day you will overcome your fears and try the water again, with someone that won't do that to you.
