My First Step

by GARRETT

Along time ago I lived in a place called Monterey. It is a great place for vacations. We'll any way back to my story, when I was born I had one mission in life and that was to learn how to walk. I tried really hard I started off by crawling and falling. Not the best I thought that is really good for a one year old.

About six months later I tried to hold on to something to keep my balance. So I grabbed a tree the bad news was that I grabbed a tree when I grabbed it you could hear the loud snap of the old, small tree, the tree snapped in half and I fell.

When I opened my eyes I saw millions of ants coming at me, I felt the burn and sting. I could also smell the pain that the ants were inflicting on me. I saw them by the millions coming at me with the color of fire and the smell like raw sewage. They must have been inside the tree when it broke, they must have been inside the hollow tree. My mom came and took me away and gave me a hot bath. Mom said, "Why do I always have to come to my sons rescue?"

The next day my parents took me too one of those swimming lessons. How could any parent do that to a child they stick you in water over and over again just so that you would get used to it. After that I was terrified of swimming.

About one year later I learned how to walk I don't remember exactly how I began. Then I wanted to learn how to talk!
