Vacation Experience

It was a blistering summer day in July of 2016, my friend, Elizabeth, and I arrived in Ocean City, Maryland, for a three day vacation at my family condo. This was a girls week with no parents. I have seen many people diving into the big waves, but I have never tried that myself. My parents would never allow me to try it. So, with a week of no parents I made it my goal, and I was going to make it happen. I was scared but egar to dive into ocean waves.

It has been a little over a year since this happened, and I was fortunate enough to not be left with any scars, only a nightmare of experience.

I explained to my mom what had happened, she was dissapointed that I kept this incident a secret, but, she said “It could have been much worse that it was,” and she was correct. The whole vacation I was trying to be a bit more adventours, and go into the water. I only got as far as putting my beach chair near the shoreline so my toes can touch the water. Im trying to get over my fear, because the beach has always been my favorite vacation destination. In the end never do something your parents don’t approve of, they know what is best for
