Last year my friends and I decided to go to the beach. We were going to swim and sunbathe. When we got to the beach there were a lot of people. Literally, there was no place to put your blanket on. So, we took our clothes off and dived into the cold water. It was quite a mistake as it became evident later. The moment I was in the water I felt a spasm in my right leg. I tried to get to the surface, I was desperately forcing my body off the water. But when I finally got to the surface I started drowning. I was moving my hands disorderly trying to grip something or somebody around me. I couldn’t even scream first, I was just panicking. I was going down and up on and on until I finally screamed. I was screaming loudly and terribly hoping almost for nothing. However, suddenly somebody grabbed me. He was dragging me ashore trying to calm me down. I think everybody on the beach was pretty scared. People were greeting us happily. The only thing I was thinking about that moment was me telling my parents what happened. Nothing scared me more.
