The Beauty of the Ocean
“Dre, Dre! Wake up!” I yelled as I bounced up and down on the bed
“ What do you want!” my brother moaned as he was half asleep
“ I want to go to the beach it is so hot! Also, I want you to teach me how to surf because we got new surfboards for Christmas” I grinned
“Fine go get dressed I will have dad take us” he approved with still a half-asleep face
I was jumping with joy as I quickly wrapped my arms around my brother and squeezed him tightly then ran to my room to get changed. I hopped into the car to go the beach, I was so excited! As soon as we got near the beach I told my dad to stop the car. When he did I sprinted out of the car, grabbed my surfboard (of course the surfboard was about one and a half times bigger than me so it was too heavy …show more content…
Dre and I tried to ride it but when I stood up, I lost my balance. A wave went on top of me, BAM! It pushed me to the ground and. I got scrapes on my knees. I started to get a little bit frustrated, I kept on trying but having no success my frustration, turned to anger.
“I will never be able to ride a wave” I bawled
“Why did you bring me here!” I kept ranting,
I knew my anger, and frustration were taking over.
“Try again, You can do it!!” my brother happily told me.
“Ok fine. One more try, that’s it” I agreed
As I found a bit smaller wave, got onto my surfboard, started paddling, the wave got closer it went under my board. I started going with the wave. I went on to my knees and slowly started to stand up it got a little bit wobbly. but I got my balance one leg at a time. I started to stand up, it got a little bit less wobbly and then I stood up! I was so happy that I yelled out,
“Yay, I did it!” I screamed happily
“Cristiana you did it! I’m so proud of you!” Dre and dad
