The girl reluctantly put her legs in the water. Slowly, she put her entire body in, then submerging herself into the ocean. It was icy and cold but the sun spreading its rays over her back made the girl feel safe. She felt happy as she thought to herself “I didn’t scream! I didn’t run! I’m in the water, and I’m having fun!” She ran her fingers through the sparkling waves and then dove under the ocean where she twirled and spun as joy overcame her.

The cold water surrounded her and she felt a wave of adrenaline rush over her in shivers. She stayed there for a few seconds and then came up. As she opened her eyes, coming back to the surface, she saw a glimpse of the sun sparkling against the water and smiled. She wasn’t scared anymore, She loved the feel of the water. It was like being in an ice bath but then the sun was there warming your back. It was peaceful. The girl took a deep breath through her snorkeling mask and dove back down. It was beautiful. It was the clearest water she’d ever seen. The sun shone through the waves. There were the most colorful coral reefs she had ever seen, kind of like fruit loops in different shapes and sizes. There were exotic fishes. There were fishes that looked like nemo and dory. There were rainbow fishes, there were schools of fishes. And the sand was the purest she’d ever seen with an even spreading color of tan. The ocean was warm and cold at the same time. It was a sky blue color and the sparkling waves came in sets here and there. It was like she was in a dream come true painting. She felt a wave of excitement and serenity overcome her as she swam around. It felt as if she was on a roller coaster, and it was the part where you would do the big flip in the air. The excitement of doing that, screaming with that giddy feeling in your stomach, that was what she felt and it was because she did it. The girl finally snorkeled and it was the most rejuvenating thing she’d ever felt and done. It’s called snorkeling, that's what she did.
