Descriptive Essay : Special Vacation

I listened and did as he said. I pushed forward and started my way down the steep slide. The force of the water carried me forward at a fast speed and I was thrown down the slide. I opened my eyes and saw that I was no longer touching the slide, but flying above it. The wave of water had thrown me so fast that I was in the air over the slide. I closed my eyes in fear and I hit the slide with a bang! I slid right into the pool with a big SPLASH. Half a second later I was submerged in the blue liquid terrified, wondering if I was hurt. I sank to the bottom, then shot up off of the ground with my feet pushing towards the air above. I wasn't the best swimmer, but I made my best effort to swim to the side of the pool and to safety, I looked around for my Mom, as I looked around I noticed the lifeguard watching me just in case. I made it to the side and pulled myself out of the pool. My mom asked me if I was okay. I told her I was fine and we continued through the day and eventually

As I was staring at the blue and white tiles on the floor, I felt the fear in body pressing me down. I turned around to see that my friend was pointing towards a piece of paper taped to the brick wall. He advised me to get ready to put on my swim cap and goggles because my swim event was coming up shortly. The event seemed quite easy, the only problem I had was the pressure that had built up inside me. All the previous thoughts were stuck in my head, making me

I turned my head and gasped a big gulp of oxygen before returning my head into the water. Again. Again. Faster. Faster and faster. Kicking furiously, I felt a sense of pride and happiness until I felt a wave hit my leg. I knew what that meant and the all too familiar development of events began. Even knowing so I teared my eyes from the bottom of the pool and looked through the corner of my eyes and saw a hand. They were closing in with my last reserves of energy I sped up my leg and arms. Again. Again.

I felt as if I was roughly about 30 feet up. I glanced back down again thinking that I was never going to be able to do it. Little did I know that the breeze was a little strong up here. The gush was a little harder than I expected and I went flying of the rock into the water. My heart must have been beating about a mile a minute as my stomach lifted up into my throat. I let out a tiny scream before I hit the water. I gasped when I came up for air, my family cheering for me.

Then I saw my cousin Sidney swimming around under water. I decided that I wanted to do the same thing as her. I was a bit nervous about going under.I kept on imagining myself drowning. But eventually Sidney persuaded me into going underwater. I was ready.

Everything happens so fast. She doesn’t have time to scream before an unknown force causes her to lose balance and she plunges face-first into the tarp-covered pool with a splash. Chlorine bums her eyes as she twists around to take in a last breath before her head goes under. Under normal circumstances, she could’ve gotten out without a problem; however this time, the tarp’s weight drags her down. The plastic hugs her like a cocoon and she sinks like a stone. Panic takes over as she thrashes and twists in a futile attempt to escape.

Straight down I go with my eyes closed, vertically, 60 feet in the air, as I drop straight down the water slide being scared tremendously! At this moment, all I could feel was the pressure of my body moving and my adrenaline going. As I opened my eyes to see if it was coming to an end, all I could see were sharks staring at me through a clear acrylic tunnel surrounded by water filled with sharks. Sharks, who are known for killing , who are ruthless/ dangerous, hungry and are man eating creature that attack any human without thinking about it. These sharks were all different sizes (pite,standard,ginormous) swimming fast towards the clear acrylic tunnel with there eyes wide opened ready to eat. At that moment, my heart started beating fast and I started praying that I would make it out safely. I could not wait for this slide to be over. All I wanted to do was see my mother and go on the Bahamian beach. But, as soon as I saw these sharks staring at me, I closed my eyes,tightly, and drop start into the water. Panicking, I

“Lean”, “Lean”, “Lean”, at this point we were just screaming lean and trying to stay calm which didn't work out too well.I was pretty surprised that we were saying in the wake I kept repeating to myself, since now we are of of the wake, “keep calm and ride the waves” which is the motto that I have made up, Because I was very scared of falling off. Now my leg falls off and Colby is trying to get me back on and I do so now there is so many bumps and I have no clue what is going on, I am slipping, sliding and then both of my legs fall off, I am like “oh no” I am wet so I and I am trying to grasp the handle. I am also sweating so it is hard and I now only have one hand on the tube with two feet and one arm off. I am bobbing and bouncing up and down in the water.

She jumped and then it was just me and Zocan. I decided I didn’t want to be the last so I approached the edge. I look down and suddenly it looked a lot higher than before. I took a deep breathe and told myself I would be fine. I closed my eyes, held my nose, and jumped. It felt like I was in the air forever. It didn’t feel real I was just falling attached to nothing. Then I landed in the water and it snapped into my brain what I had just done. I looked up and Zocan jumps right away. We all sat there for a minute so happy with ourselves for what we had just

The only sound that filled my ears was my keyboard clicking as my fingers raced across it. I had been procrastinating from finishing this assignment all evening, but I knew I needed to get it done. The burning sunset was shining through the windows as I was finishing up. It was a peaceful silence, until I heard the soft whispers of my parents that ignited my sense of curiosity. I was concentrating hard; doing my best trying to make out the hushed words that were being spoken.

Everyone has gone on some form of vacation in their lives. I have gone on many vacations that have been very hectic, but the cruise that I went on might have been the craziest.

“Bye,” Mom and I said as we stood and watched as my Dad got further and further from us.

As I started to get out of the water I feel a sharp pain at the bottom of my left foot. ‘Ouch’ I thought to myself. I looked down into the green colored lake and saw nothing but my feet, some sand and tons of slimy rocks. Oh well I thought as I was getting out of the water and double checking to make sure there was nothing in the water that I could have stepped on. I stood up and walked to the other pier and jumped off.

After a while, my parents, sisters ,and younger brother came walking down into the cafeteria to eat and it was about 7:00 and we were going to leave at about 8:00 so we had time.
