Destiny

I slowly felt helpless and felt like there was nothing I could do to save myself. I was gasping for air and starting to fight for my life, but there was a solution to the problem that me, my brothers and sister along with my neighbour hood friends were going through that could save us.

It was a beautiful day as me and my family went down to the beach. We were having lots of fun with my family and the neighbourhood friends on a hot summers day. Just after we had a barbecue lunch, we all thought it was a good idea to go for a swim in the beach since it was such a nice day. There was 6 of us going for a swim, which were 2 of my older brothers along with my older sister and there was some of neighbourhood friends coming as well. As we got to the water we were all so excited just to run in and have some fun.

After being in the water for about 15 minutes, I looked over to my oldest brother Sam and he had this look on his face that looked like he was scared and worried but I wasn’t really sure what he worried about or anything so I started to panic as in there was a shark or some sort of thing beneath us but then I looked how far away from the beach we were and I then caught onto the fact that we were getting swept out and into a rip. Since I was only around 11 I wasn’t to familiar with the way the ocean can just sweep people out with out them really knowing, and thats what happened to us. Sam then mentioned it, we all started to panic and stress about what we were going to do and we had to think of a way to try get out of the rip that we were in. We were near by rocks which were a bit further away then we thought they were as we tried to swim near them but as we kept on trying it didn’t really seem we were getting any closer at any point, until Sam attempted to swim around the rip and as he did that he led one of our neighbours with him and from our neighbour it went to my sister and we all ended up working together and helping each other out with getting out...
