Taking risks

“ Can I go now, can I go now” moaned bobby. “ after you eat” said, mum. I stayed quiet in the corner. I never wanted to go swimming to get food or any of that nonsense. I thought maybe if I just stay in the corner they will forget me and leave. I was wrong tho. “ manny you need to eat too.you need lots of energy to swim” said mum. “ I made your favorite. Smushed salmon and tuna” Ahhhh why did she make that? I can never ignore some good old fashion smushed salmon and tuna. I slipped one foot after the other and sat down on the fresh new pile of snow and ate my smushed salmon and tuna. It was perfect just the right amount of tuna and salmon. I finished my food and just sat there pretending we had nothing on. But bobby yelled. “Common let’s go before its too late.” “Alright let’s go then,” said mum. “ mum…” I said. “ can I talk to you” “ sure honey. What is it.” “ Im...I’m scared” “ oh hon. Why didn’t you tell me before.” “because I didn’t want to ruin it for bobby.” “ you never had to do it.” mum said kindly. “ there are many other jobs out there. Like pulling in the fish and looking after the young pups.” “ I know,” I said. “ but I just want to see you try. “ okay,” I said. We got down to the drop-off. I stared at the water. I saw tiny fish swimming around. Splash! Bobby had jumped in. you should have seen his face. He was loving it ducking and diving. “Mum look I caught a fish,” said bobby. He had caught one of the little fish. “Come on manny. The water is nice and cold.” said mum. I dipped one of my paws in. my hair floated in the water. I started to wobble then...SPLASH. My head was going under. I just stayed there underwater. I saw fish and other types of seals. I was surprised. I was actually liking it. I swam about splashing water everywhere. I never wanted to get out but I had to. “Can we come back tomorrow?” I asked mum. “Sure why not” So that’s the story of how I became the best swimmer 5 I mean 4 years in a row. Na it’s about how I got over my fear and enjoyed it. So that’s what happens when you take a risk!

My writers profile

Bonjour, my name is Amber. I’m 10 years old. I live in Awatuna but my family and I probably will be moving to Hokitika so we can be would be closer to town. I go to Hokitika Primary School. I think that it is one of the best schools in New Zealand because you get to go to high school when you are 10 years old and in most schools you go to high school when you are 13. I really like to read books with mysteries and humor; lots of humor. Sometimes a little bit of horror; just when I can’t find anything else to read. I like writing about animals, food, true stories, family and things that are going to happen because most of these things mean something to me. Food; not so much. I mean it helps you survive and I like making food even if I can’t eat it. In my class, Ruma Kiwi, we are doing Writers Workshop so you do some writing and try to make it the best that you can do. You have to go over it quite a few times but you always get there in the end.

I really like doing gymnastics, I do it every Thursday, just not on the holidays. I really like french culture. I think it's really fancy and that the food is so good just not snails ( gross)

I love baking, especially cakes and macaroons and macarons. Shopping is one of my favorite things to do. I shop for shoes, clothes, food, slime, anything satisfying and everything else that I love. When I’m about 20 years old I want to have my own dessert truck with almost every dessert that you could imagine. I would sell cakes, cupcakes, brownies, biscuits, ice cream, sorbays, macaroons, macarons, chocolate, meringues, pavlova, lamingtons the list goes on and on.

I hope that you enjoyed reading my piece of writing.

Bye Amber
