Turtle Reflection Paper

At the time I didn’t think it was strange that none of the adults were wearing lifejackets. I also didn’t find it odd that my uncle was about to jump in the depths of the water without one. Hailey and Tim jumped in the water off of the back of the boat, both their heads dunking under and immediately bobbing back up to the surface. Hailey immediately started screaming and crying and grabbed onto her father, not realizing she was safe and that she was drowning her dad! After a few moments of confusion, my mother jumped in wearing clothes head-to-toe trying to save Tim. She swam over to him trying to pry Hailey from her dad. My mother succeeded only to have Hailey cling to her neck also. My mom went under the water not coming up for several moments, screaming and sucking in air when she came up. Hailey had begun to drown her also. My mom says she still to this day remembers her life flashing before her

She was as worried as anyone would be. She didn't know if she could do this. "What if the shark is still there". She thought to herself. Then when she went into the water she wasn't worried anymore. "I am not

"Hey dad. Yeah we're leaving now. Okay see you soon. Love you too, bye." She hung up. "Okay, they're leaving now, we should get

We all got in the water with my sister leading us. As we started to get farther out into the water I saw something right in front of my sister. I was scared that it was a manta ray or a shark, and immediately grabbed Tia and turned around. She pulled back on my arm and pointed at the large creature. It wasn’t a shark or a manta ray or an unknown monster, but it was a mantaray. We followed it around for a while trying to swim next to it. I went underwater and was right next to the manta ray. I was so close that I could reach out and touch it. That is exactly what I did. I wanted to continue to follow it into the ocean, but soon realized that I could no longer touch the ocean bottom. My sister told me that we needed to head back to the shore and I agreed with

I sighed as I laid down my bulky big bag that I had packed the night before. Who knew that Florida could be so HOT. I decided to go for a swim right then and there, was that my mom yelling at me. It was,“Charity Berkheimer, if you do not come down here in five minutes we are leaving without you,”no! They can not leave without me. Where are we going anyway, it did not matter then. I just grabbed my blue one piece and dashed out the door.

“You used adrenaline,” stated the mother, her hoarse voice crackled. She glided her hand across her eldest daughter causing her eyes water, “Then I guess it's time.”

“ I never got to meet my father he left before my birth my mom told me and I hate him for it” I exclaimed.

One night, they took the boat to the beach. After several attempts, they got into the ocean. They got lost at sea for a week. They didn’t

The plane broke in half and Selena and I swam out there, along with other passengers. When we came to the surface of the water I made sure she was okay, and not hurt too bad. One of the other passengers had an inflatable boat from the plane so we and four others got on it and started paddling. We didn't know where we were headed, we just hoped it would take us to shore. Kameron, one of the guys on the inflatable boat, said “I see land up ahead”. We headed that way, and climbed out of the boat once we got there. We didn't know what to do, we were just hoping to be safe

I dropped the fish bowl in fear of not making it out the forest alive. I picked up the castle, then ran back to the door to get my stuff. I hopped into the truck and drove away along the path. I wanted to pause the world and cry, but the fire would have dried them fast than I would created them. Someone must have called the fire department because once I was out of the forest, there were police officers and firefighters around. The EMT checked me out to make sure I was ok, but my health didn’t concern me. I’d never see my cabin again, but what mattered most was never seeing Qura, my first best friend,

“Oh, Margot, why are you all wet, didn’t you put your jacket on?” Margot’s mother asked.

A giant splash came up behind us and got the angry villagers. The villagers lingered for a couple minutes, then they ran away. They stayed under water until they left. The water smoothed out and they came out from under the water. “The coast is clear,” Penny whispered, Nessie came out with her and Nessie swamm Penny to the shore.

“Believe me or not. I don’t really care but the day you here my tune, you better run. I will not be gentle.” With that she turned and jumped. The water was as cold as her soul, it was rather

As they started walking slowly trying to think of a plan, they stepped on a door that was on the ground. Looked at each other but didn’t say a word and opened the door. It took them downstairs, into a room that was in the middle of glass walls surrounding the ocean. The were walking around the glass walls and came up to a girl sitting in a chair watching a dolphin. They talked to the girl for a long time, trying to solve the whole mystery of what was happening.

I take a deep breath, my nostrils are filled with the pleasant aroma of the salty sea air. This is my happy place, this is where I belong. As I sit with my freshly painted pink toes in the sand, I am overwhelmed with all that is happening around me. To my right, there is a family of four; a mother, father, and two little red headed girls that look like twins, laughing and jumping around, taking in the big world around them. The children are in their bright red and purple flowered bathing suits, running and screaming, attempting to get their toes wet in the chilly water that churns back and forth on the shore. After a few attempts they decide to run and jump full force into the crystal clear abyss, unaware of what creatures they could find if they dive deep enough.
