My name is Sarah and I'm the youngest child of the family, I have three siblings. I'm the youngest child and with a family like mine it's not easy everyday, so I though that since I go through all type of mess every time I might as well write a book...
In my school all the sixth graders have swimming as a sport. I don't know who did this, but if I had this person in front of me I would touch him a word or two, because really the swimming pool in primary school compared to middle school is really not the same thing.

All the sixth graders are divided into three groups going from the weakest to the strongest: clown fish, dolphins and finally sharks and as swimming (nor any other sport) is not for me I am obviously one of the fish clowns. So while the sharks circle back and forth, we just have to learn to kick our legs on our backs or on our stomachs. However, every time the teacher tries to get us to move forward, Julien, a boy in our group has a panic attack whenever he's letting go of the edge of the pool too much, so we've been doing the same thing for four months now.

But it doesn't bother me at all because I can just relax for an hour or two and I find that I really need that with a family like mine.

Often, at the end of the swimming lesson we are allowed to do whatever we want so I take a small inflatable board while letting myself float peacefully. The problem is that Julien, who was unfortunately next to me, inadvertently let go of the edge, started a panic attack while drowning and ended up leaning on MY board to breathe, which made ME sink. As a clown fish I can't swim so I started to really drown.

The lifeguard held out his POLE to me but I couldn't see anything since I was fighting for my own SURVIVAL. As I was starting to really run out of air I managed to catch the pole, but I had to grab it really hard because the lifeguard FELL into the water.
Now that he was already wet he really had no choice but to get me out of the water himself. He was really mad at me because he didn't bring a change of clothes and he was soaked. And when I then told him that it was Julien's fault and that it was supposed to be his JOB to go in the water that he should have brought a change of clothes, it really didn't work in my favor because he ordered me to go and wait for the end of the hour on the key.

I regretted having left my towel in the locker room because there I was literally dying from the cold.
