the story

The story “Deep water” by William.o.dougless made a big connection for me because I hate water. I hate water so much that I only like to go swimming in pools. This story is the exact same as mine except how I got scared. This book is also a good written book because it really seems real. Not like some made up story just real. This makes my real life connection a real life connection.
One day my family and I went to Lake Michigan and we went out on the sand bars far-out from the beach and a boat came and made some big waves that knocked me off the bar and into the deep. I am a good swimmer but I could not swim in the big waves. So I started to go under longer on every wave until I got messed up and got uncoordinated with the waves went up when it went down so when it came up I was down, Just like when William The kid from the story got dunked by a big dude and his plan of pushing up from the bottom that failed. It was almost over I hit the next sandbar I did not really know it was the sand bar because I felt dizzy, also William lost it and the next thing he knew was that he was puking on the ground at the pool. Then I waited for my strength and swam back to the beach. (The sand bars are like rungs on a later each one after the other one I was on the third one out)
The next time we went any were with waves I did not go further than chest deep unlike William, he did not go swimming at all. After a few visits my dad noticed that I was not swimming at all so he asked what was wrong and of course I told him “nothing”. After a while my mom wanted me to go skiing. And I always said no but one time she convinced me to. So when I went skiing I just lost all my fear because all I had to do was stay up till the boat came which was easy so now I love to ski, Just like William all he had to do was practice then he would not drown in his shock.
As you can see I have a lot of connections to this story especially with the sandbars and the declining pool. This story is for people like you and me to tell us that nothing is imposable and with practice you can do almost anything. A second thing this story was telling me was not to give up keep going. This is why “Deep Water” by William. o. Douglass has made so many connections to my life.
