Welcome to my Nightmare:
A foot below water, I saw myself during my lifetime remembering the great moments of my life and the great people I had met. I tried to reach the surface to take at least one breath, but as much as I tried I couldn't. It might be true, you know, what they say about seeing a bright life when you feel death so close. I remember having my eyes open the whole time as I could see the surface so close. When I was no longer able to hold my breath I begun to see a bright light just on the surface. I convinced myself that it was just the sun, but who knows maybe I was about to drown. Right when I was about to breath in the cold water, I was able to get loose and move up. The moment I inhaled fresh air, I felt tears in my eyes because I realized how precious my life was, and how terrible it felt to feel death so near. It seems really crazy to me how one of the things I have always loved most, was almost my end. This experience made me become more cautious on how swimming is important and also made me become more careful. I begun to fear water for a while after this, but I overcame my fear and begun to love it again. This experience has made me know that one should always be aware of the things going on and one should always make sure to teach others survival tips, because I got lucky I knew how to swim and could hold my breath under water for a while, but there are so many people that don't know that and don't think something like this could ever happen to them. The consequences could have been worse.
