Hero Journal Entry

This particular incident happened a few years before I was born. My eldest brother was swimming in his friend's pool; he was about two years old. Obviously, my mother was there. My brother still did not know how to swim, so he swam with "floaties". My mother thought that my brother had enough of swimming, so she took him out of the pool and removed his "floaties". After a while, my brother jumped into the pool and started to drown. My mother saw him and jumped into the pool fully clothed and saved him. She was not even a good swimmer, because she never learned how to swim.
