You never know where life will lead you. 1 I was a young boy, I got water up my nose one time. After that I never wanted to get in the water again. I thought2 was not for me.
One day, I fell off my skateboard and broke my leg so3 , and the doctors said I could never really skateboard again. They said swimming was the only4 that would be good for me.
Well, I5 it a try. Every week, I got a little better and hated swimming a little6 . I worked at it so much that one day my high school swimming coach asked me to7 the school team. You can imagine how that made me and my family feel as I was so8 of the water before!
Much to everyone's surprise, I9 third place in the city finals. Swimming is a big part of my life now. You never know which road life will take you down. Look at me—a swimmer!
10 this reason, I say: don't limit (限制) your choices. And remember, life is a swimming pool. Jump in and start swimming! You might be surprised where you end up.
