I remember when…..

By Lupita

I remember when my brother Sergio taught me how to swim. Usually I spend the summer at my Nana's house. She lives in a mobile home park but it's really nice and fancy. One summer when I was about six my brother taught me to swim.

One summer Sergio decided to come with me to my Nana's house just to get away out of boring ol' town. Since it was summer we went to the pool a lot. However whenever we would go I would just stay in the shallow end. But, Sergio would just be a maniac and jump in repeatedly and is crazy. It amused me however.

However, when he noticed I always stayed where I could touch he said "Come over here with me". I told "No I can't reach". Then in that moment he noticed that I couldn't swim, then he said "Imma teach you to swim". We started about two days later because the next day he had work. It took about two day but I got it done. By the end I could swim in the deep end and jump off just like my brother. I was extremely proud of myself it was an amazing feeling.
