My Fear of Water
It was a summer day when I was probably between 8 or 10. When went to the river off the trail of the Smokey Mountains near cades cove. I was tubing and enjoying my time in the water when I decided to start going down the rapids over and over. As I continued to do it, I wanted to go higher on the dam. That’s what I’ll never forget. The classic mom watch this, are words that I will never say as this changed my view of the water and swimming for the rest of my life.
I have never been a fan of water. A terrible swimmer. A person that never liked the unknown. A kid who was worried about every little thing. But today was different. While I had no care in the world on what would and could happen. For the first time I just did whatever I thought of. No second thoughts, No idea of the outcome.
The day was very hot. I was at my grandads' cabin in laurel valley. A day I wanted to go to the river. It was so hot, and I was wanting to cool off. Never would I think of just going fishing by self at 10 years old. But here I was on the riverbank. Casting out my line in hopes of catching something.
