Like a powerful motorized speed-boat, I swam across the lake to go retrieve my sister after she got thrown off of the inflatable balloon attached to our boat. My arms and legs were burning out of exhaustion, and my mouth could only pick up the taste of the lake’s murky, muddy water. My family and I were headed out to the lake to spend a sunny afternoon together. We rarely have time to see each other since all of us have our own tight, busy schedules, so my dad had the brilliant idea that we should all go to the lake together.

I knew I had to be the one to go get her, but I was too afraid to get in the water. I didn’t want to get bit by anything or scratch my leg on some pipe. I soon decided that this would have to be done sooner or later, so I plucked up all the courage I had and jumped in the water.
