Drowning Essay, Research Paper


Drowning is the second leading cause of injury deaths of infants


and children younger than 15 years old in the United States. I know many of


you may have small children and relatives so this may be of some interest to


you. A personal experience happened to me when I was around seven years


old. I still can remember it like yesterday. This incident almost cost me my life,


I was disobedient and it still has a big effect on me now. This little act of mine


caused a lot of stress to many people, I was seven years old and at the time I


was the only child. I stayed with my mother and my step-dad. We lived in the


trailer parks; I was at the babysitter?s house and she had two teenage sons.


One was named Tim and the other Derrick, and I wanted to be like them. It


was a hot summer day, and Tim and Derrick went swimming at the pool up at


the front of the trailer park. I asked the babysitter could I go she said, ?NO!?


This made me very upset because I couldn?t go to the pool with her sons. She


told me the reason why I couldn?t go was because she was in charge of me


and she wasn?t going to be up there watching me. I wasn?t really caring about


what she was talking about. She went into the kitchen and was making me


some lunch while I was on the sofa. After lunch was ready I ate all my food


and told her that I was going outside to play with the dog. I went out to play


with Face; she was a full breed pit

bull, but she liked me. After about an hour


of being bored outside playing by myself, I began to think of a way I could


sneak to the pool. I went inside the house without being seen and put on my


swimming trunks. Running as fast as I could I left out the house and sprinted


to the pool. I was so happy I was finally at the pool, so I walked around the


pool once and took off my shoes and shirt. Not knowing I was at the deep


end of the pool I ran and jumped into the pool. Straight to the bottom I went.


All of a sudden in one blink my fun turned into a scare. It was the water and


me and I didn?t know how to swim. So I was gasping for air all I could see


was the suns rays hitting the water and the big white fluffy clouds. Next thing I


knew was I was drowning and I went to the bottom of the pool, 8 feet down.


All I remember next was I was on the ground and everybody was standing


around me, and people were kneeling also. Among the crowd was Tim and


Derrick looking and wondering was I all right. I felt really scared and nervous.


I was ok and they took me back to the house and told her what had


happened to me. She was furious because I snuck out and could?ve killed


myself by being disobedient. My little act affected everyone, my mother, the


babysitter and her sons. I really learned my lesson the hard way. I still think


about this today how my life could?ve been ended over my curiosity of


sneaking out and going to the pool.
