The time I almost drowned

  Hello everyone, This is the time I almost drowned at the age of 6. It's a pretty funny story now that I think about it. I drowned not in the pool, not in the ocean, but in the jaqcuezzi. I know I know it's not something to talk, not something to deep or hard to get up in.  How do you drown!! Well let me tell you guys, you can drown in a foot of water. It's possible and just cause it's not in the ocean, or not in the pool, it's still very horrifying!! Okay so on to the story. My cousin Jocelyn, Joshua, Christian, Katelyn, my sister, and I were all going swimming at my aunts house. We stood  up on a little Bench around the edges in the jacuzzi and walked around it. Why you may ask? I do not know what in the world we were doing but it sounded like fun at the moment for everyone. I did not want to do it, but my older cousins made me, they said nothing would happen.. Well anyways, there's a little wattle fall that goest straight  into the pool but since there was a waterfall, there was no bench. Here's the interesting part, once I got to the little waterfall, of course, I fell down and sunk to the bottom. My breath is being held at the exact moment I can not hold balance, my eyes shut closed immaditly. Everything turns black as a I fall in.  I was pretty tall so there was no room for me to swim, to stretch out my legs and breath. I don't remember what it felt like, but I just remember seeing my self sinking. My hair to the side looking smooth, my body at the bottom of the water, and seeing myself holding my breath. Someone grabs my arm , their hand is dry. They pulls me out, when I get a breath of air I open my eyes. They open, they shut, water comes out of my mouth and I have trouble breathing. When I finally get to breath normally, I see my dad standing  there with his arms wet.  He was the one that pulled me out, luckily I didn't need to go to the hospital but I was very lucky to get pulled out on time. Ever since that day, getting into the water (putting my head under) would take me a while. Next weeks story will be about the time I was thrown into the pool and couldn't breath!!
