Drowning Essay, Research Paper Drowning is the second leading cause of injury deaths of infants and children younger than 15 years old in the United States. I know many of you may have small children and relatives so this may be of some interest to you. A personal experience happened to me when I was around seven years old. I still can remember it like yesterday. This incident almost cost me my life, I was disobedient and it still has a big effect on me now. This little act of mine caused a lot of stress to many people, I was seven years old and at the time I was the only child. I stayed with my mother and my step-dad. We lived in the trailer parks; I was at the babysitter?s house and she had two teenage sons. One was named Tim and the other Derrick, and I wanted to be like them. It was a hot summer day, and Tim and Derrick went swimming at the pool up at the front of the trailer park. I asked the babysitter could I go she said, ?NO!? This made me very upset because I couldn?t go to the pool with her sons. She told me the reason why I couldn?t go was because she was in charge of me and she wasn?t going to be up there watching me. I wasn?t really caring about what she was talking about. She went into the kitchen and was making me some lunch while I was on the sofa. After lunch was ready I ate all my food and told her that I was going outside to play with the dog. I went out to play with Face; she was a full breed pit bull, but she liked me. After about an hour of being bored outside playing by myself, I began to think of a way I could sneak to the pool. I went inside the house without being seen and put on my swimming trunks. Running as fast as I could I left out the house and sprinted to the pool. I was so happy I was finally at the pool, so I walked around the pool once and took off my shoes and shirt. Not knowing I was at the deep end of the pool I ran and jumped into the pool. Straight to the bottom I went. All of a sudden in one blink my fun turned into a scare. It was the water and me and I didn?t know how to swim. So I was gasping for air all I could see was the suns rays hitting the water and the big white fluffy clouds. Next thing I knew was I was drowning and I went to the bottom of the pool, 8 feet down. All I remember next was I was on the ground and everybody was standing around me, and people were kneeling also. Among the crowd was Tim and Derrick looking and wondering was I all right. I felt really scared and nervous. I was ok and they took me back to the house and told her what had happened to me. She was furious because I snuck out and could?ve killed myself by being disobedient. My little act affected everyone, my mother, the babysitter and her sons. I really learned my lesson the hard way. I still think about this today how my life could?ve been ended over my curiosity of sneaking out and going to the pool. |
