The story of my life

Beginning

It was already the next week, how did I pass so fast? Anyways,, I'm supposed to start my swimming lessons, yay(that yay was sarcastic by the way). I was thinking of how it would be, maybe like the video, I liked that, I couldn't even finish my thoughts, because my mom barged into my room.

  "Ready for your first lesson?" she said like she was the one learning not me. I didn't want to seem annoyed so I said trying to seem happy "Yeah I can't wait" I was not really happy, I really just wanted to stay home do nothing and just watch peppa pig on my iPad.

  (Let's be serious, at that age who wouldn't want to stay home and just watch YouTube videos on the tablet or eating sweets with no problem)

  "Great, then let's get ready , I already made your bag for you!" she said even more excited. "I really can't wait"  I tried to not sound sad , I really was only doing this cos of my mom, if this really made her happy il do it.

(I mean at that time I was actually like a bit happy that I could do other stuff, but now with my situation it's really fucked up)

  I got ready, I mean my mom put some clothes on me and we went to the buss station(at that time my family didn't have a car, cos we weren't that rich to afford a car). When the buss got to the station we went and sat down. At this point I was actually getting a bit excited, maybe this won't be that bad, right? It's not like I'll get obsessed with this sport and I won't want to quit right.... RIGHT?

  Well I just barely finished my thought , cos we got to our destination. The station wasn't actually where we were supposed to go, we had to walk like another 15-20 minutes before we got to the actual destination.The pool was situated in a like aqua park kinda thing. Like it wasn't actually an aqua park , cos it had 4 outside pools 2 for little children that can't swim and the water gets to like they're ankle and there were 2 pools that were bigger in size and length. There was the one that had 3 water slides but kinda sad and was like 1,60m deep. And the last pool was 2m deep and longer than the other one , I think it maybe has 50m.Oh and there is a park as well like a big one with slides and other stuff to play in. Of course there were restaurants there.

  And then we get to the best part where I am going to learn how to swim.The pool was actually inside like it was covered by a "ballon" thats literally what the call it ✨tha ballon✨, so that's exactly what we are going to call it.

  When we first got there it seemed nice, the only this was the fact that we had to pay?(I didn't understand back then why we had to pay the entrance, now I do, don't worry). After she paid for me, we went to the dressing room and she got me ready. She got me a blue swimsuit , red swimming cap and pink goggles and of course to top it all off, pink flip flops and a pink coat :).

  I really didn't know what to expect so I just went with it. After my mom took some pics to post on Facebook OF COURSE, a weird looking guy came from the inside of the pool and started talking to my mum.

  "Is this your doughter?" he asked curious, "Yes this is her, she is Bianca!" my mom answered, "Hi, Bianca! Nice to meet you, my name is Marco and I will be teaching you how to swim" I was looking at him and really didn't know what to say.

  (I was a shy child, like REALLY shy. I couldn't even talk to my relatives I was that shy. I am better now, but I am still a bit shy, like it's hard to me to talk to a stranger or to ask someone I don't really know that well a question)

  "A bit shy, is she!" he said and started laughing. This was not funny dude. I was feeling uncomfortable at this point. " Don't worry , you will get used to it. Now come on and let me introduce you to your colleagues!". Wait what? I will be swimming with more kids? I really didn't know how to feel. Should I feel happy that I will make new friends? My social anxiety was rising by the second.

  We entered there pretty big doors. When Marco opened the door air started blasting in my face. He didn't hold on the door super good so it shut closed, making a really loud noise. I got scared there for a second. Then when the second set of doors got opened it didn't have the same sensation.

  When we got inside, I got mesmerized by what I was seeing. It was really cool. There was a huge pool in front of me , with a lot of kids and coaches probably learning how to swim like me, or maybe they already knew how to swim.

  We walked on the right side of the pool to get to were I will be learning how to swim. The water seemed really deep (it was actually 1.80m deep), so I hopped I wasn't going to be learning in the big water, but where else? I was looking around and looking at there weird
things that people were jumping of in a really weird positions. Then we got to the other side of the pool, opposite from where we entered.

  Then I looked in front of me and there were a few kids that were talking, but I couldn't understand what they were saying.

(For short I'm Romanian so I speak Romanian, but I'm writing this book in English. The language that the kids were speaking was Hungarian. I still swim and my  colleagues are actually Hungarian and I still can't really understand what they say, but I can understand a few words)

  "Ok kids, come to me!" Marco said loudly so everyone can stop talking and listen to him. "You will come one by one to my table and tell me your age and your full name." he said first in the weird language and than in Romanian so I guessed that's what he said. So we each went one by one and said owe age and full name.

(As good as I can remember I don't think I actually had any Romanian colleagues so I was stuck talking with myself)

  After that we started to do a really weird thing, Marco was calling it a warmup but on land and then we will have one in water. After like 20 minutes we were ready to enter the water. To my surprise and fortunately where we were , there was like a platform so the water was not as deep so our feet can touch the floor.

  We started with something easy and I actually was getting it and was the first to get what we were supposed to do, so Marco was making every kid look at me to show them how to do it correctly. We learned how to swim on our backs and on the stomach( I mean backstroke and freestyle ).

  It was actually fun and I actually enjoyed it. By the time I even knew it the hour was over. I was actually a bit disappointed that the hour was over, but I couldn't wait to tell my mom.

  When we went outside Marco started talking to my mom "She has potential, she gets it really quick. She was the first one to get what to do!" Marco said actually a bit impressed. "Is that so?" mom asked curious "Do you want to continue?" mom asked me "YES" I almost yelled. I actually liked what we were doing and wanted to learn. It was actually really fun. "Ok, great than! We will come next week!" my mom said with a proud voice "Yes!" I yelled under my breath so no one could actually hear it.

  After a few more minutes of my mom talking to Marco we went to the dressing room and got changed. Took my bag and went to the buss station while telling my mom everything I learned today. She seemed proud, I really liked that. If my mom was proud I could be proud.

  We got home and ate lunch, watched some peppa pig and went to sleep. Before I feel asleep I was thinking "I can't wait for the next lesson"

Here is another chapter for you guys. Sorry it took so long, hope you liked it.
I'm going back to school next week and I will be stressed out cos I have to start learning for my exam in the summer so I really don't know how I'm going to upload in that time. But when I will have free time I will write one or two chapters for you guys.

Out this book I won't be giving the actual names of the people that I mention.I am giving my actual name so you guys know whose book this is, but the people that I mention , the names are made up.

I made the chapter longer for you guys hope you like it.
If I make any gramatical mistakes you can always tell me, as I have mentioned English is not my first language so I do mess up words or don't write the correctly.

Hope you like the book so far. Thank you for reading <3.
