Last summer I took swimming lessons
Last summer I took swimming lessons. First I passed beginners level. That was easy. The next level was advanced beginners, where we were to go from swimming in water three feet deep to eleven feet deep.
The first day of class our teacher asked us to swim across water eleven feet deep. I said "no" because I was scared. When I went home, I was really upset.
Then I decided to stop being upset and start praying. Mom and I knew that God was everywhere and that He was supporting me. This made me feel a lot better. The next day I swam across the pool perfectly. Later I passed advanced beginners. I remembered to thank God very much.
