Sun Moon Lake – Derrick, Taiwan

The first time I stepped out of my comfort zone I went to Sun Moon Lake with my family.  I was afraid of the water so I hugged my dad’s back like a dolphin.  After that trip my mom and I decided I should take swimming lessons so I didn’t have to be afraid of the water anymore.  My first day of swimming lessons was very scary.  I didn’t want to get in the water but my teacher helped me go carefully.  Slowly I became more and more use to the water and became a better and better swimmer.  I even went to another swimming school level to learn more strokes!  Now I can swim backwards and forwards.  I really like to swim!
