My First Time on the Diving Board (by Bailey, age 7)

Do you have any feedback for Bailey on his writing?


Come on, Bailey, you can do it!

My teeth chatter as I look into the water far below me. I don't think I can.

I take one step further, and I can see other people pouncing off into the water like dolphins. Everybody is waiting for me to dive, so I start to bounce.

I'm shaking, but I jump. I'm above the sparkly clear water, then my feet touch it. I swallow water, and my mouth is full of the taste of salty chlorine.

I am so cold, but proud and happy that I did it. I thought I was too scared to ever do it.
