if i could change one thing in my past


If I could change one thing in the past, I would have changed the time when I had cut open my heel from swimming. This event happened not too long ago on December 17th of 2010. This was the last day for our school and Christmas break had started. The weather was looking so beautiful that I had planned to abruptly go to Wing beach and spearfish. Spearfishing has become a sport and a hobby to me that I love so much, because I loved the water ever since I was a kid. Water has always been in my life and my passion for the water has become greater when I had been introduced to spearfishing. Not only did my interest for water increase, but as well as the respect for the inhabitants inhibiting the waters that I swim in.

Some people who do not know how to swim may not understand how deep my passion is for the water, however, someday I want to record my adventures and share it with others who may or may not know me. But the people I want to show the most of my adventures to my friends and family who mean a lot to me. My family does not really love the water like I do. When I was young, my father loved cliff fishing so he would take me along with my mom to a night of cliff fishing where my mom would watch me as she cooks dinner sitting on the carpet. I was too young but as I grew older, my father would take me fishing more often and I would love to follow him every time. My love for fishing was so great that even though my father would try to give me five dollars to cheer me up when I couldn’t go with him, I would reject his offer of the money and try to follow him fishing.

My dad was the first one to introduce me to fishing and I fell in love with it just like my dad did. Although his type of fishing is different from the sport of spearfishing that I do, I still respect the sport of cliff fishing and any other type of sport that deals with fishing. Spearfishing is different from a regular fishing because unlike bottom fishing, spearfishing involves diving and holding your breath as you dive underwater to depths of 10 feet to over 100 feet, depending on how well you have trained to become good enough to dive that deep. As you dive down and reach the bottom, there are many types of ways to hunt fish: stalking the prey, hiding and then ambushing the prey, or stay camouflaged and then catching the prey. Each technique is needed for different kinds of fish and some may work better than the others depending on the type of fish that is being hunted.

Spearfishing is a sport that I love very much and I will never live without it. The love of passion for ones hobby will always be with me until I die.
