I can't remember exactly the date of it but what i remebre is that i was super nervous but excited at the same time you know that feeling when you want to do somthing new but it's your first time so you also know that it won't be perfect that's what i felt so i wore my favorait dress a purple one with white areas and some beautiful mixes of colors but i was soo sleepy i had to waje up at 7 am becouse the club is soo far to be There befor the tournments start at 8:30 but thanks to my anxieaty when i arrived There i was wide awake😂. My first tournment was in a club called "El Said" in arabic the translate to it ( the fishing club) yeah i know it's a weird name for a tournment club but that's it's name😂 it's well known in egypt for the tournments. other culbs compete in it. Anyway, the captain told us we had to bring "tamr" and juice and a small pice of chocolate to provid us with energy and we should eat it before our turn with about 30 min i told you before how i hated kaptain essmat but in that day he was so nice and was joking with us he didn't raise his voice not even once except when he was encouraging some of the swimmers during their turn. He was completly a diffrent Person i was relaxed by seeing that and i understood that some pepole are just like him like the teachers like other trainers i had seen from afar There is always a bad side and a good side of anybody in his case his good side shows outside of the training . sometime passed by other teames played thier turn and it was about 2:00 pm till the captain told us our team will be the next so all of us sat on the floor facing the picine and stared warming up the captain told each of us thier turn in the team i was the 3rd one to go while my friend maya was the 1st so i talked to her before she goes and we laghuthed for a little bit and the captain wanted to make fun of her by calling her "maiyaa" which mean water in arabic 😂 you get it becouse she is going to water and her name is so close to maiyaa😂 so she laghuthed and get up. Another funny thing that happened to me we were sitting on the floor but a bit far from the pool as it was soo sunny and it was noon so the floor was on fier we couldn't sit on it so we moved back till the cafiteria we were sitting under it's window from outside. Mum and dad and my brother was in There so i wanted to tell them my turn is almost There i stood up and looked for them keep in mind the window was open and it emerges to outside i was looking for them with my eyes but i couldn't see them so i steped one step just onnnnee step and boom i blasted my head to the window you might say it's just one step it won't hurt of course you couldn't move soo fast with one step i will tell you haha haaaaa nooooo it was the worst i will explain why the window was open in my direction as it's edge was facing my nose between my eyes so when i was looking the other side with my eyes and moved forward i didn't see it before it was too late but i managed to move my head a little when i feled somthing sharp touching my nose buuuut that sharp dammen edge hit right under my eyes luckly it didn't hit my eyes so i wasn't harmed but it hitted that bone right under it and i ware goggles (swimming glasses) which put huge pressure on that bone to prevent water from entering plus the pressure of the snorkel which puches my buna back and my glasses back so when i tried to ware it it hurted like helll even without the snorkel i couldn't ware it for 5 seconds so i was in a very big trouble i would have almost cried i couldn't even find my parents to ask them what should i do and i don't know were my captain was and my turn was after the next one before i broke down i remembered somthing an advice the captain told me once when part of my body hurt he told me to shower with hot water so i looked around me for my water but it wasn't with me and my friends wasn't hot they didn't leave it in the sun then i said to my self RIGHT THE SUN so i touched the floor with my foot it was burning but how can i put my eyes or my face into the floor without pepole saying i'm crazy then i thought i can act like i fell on my face but it won't be more than seconds so the pain won't go besides it will hurt more if i hit my face again then i looked in the floor for for anything that was left in the sun i found 2 things my board and my fins but only it's lower small part so i took my board and put it on my face but it is made from foum and thik so the it wasn't that hot it was just ward so i looked at the fins with my last hope in my eyes and prayed then took it and put it's edge on my face and it was burning i almost cried from happines and i put it for 5 or 10 min and prayed it would make my bone hurt less then i put it back and touch my bone and tried to ware my glasses then said in a loud voice IT WORKED🤩 i was soo greatful and thanked god Then ware my things and continied warming up becouce my turn was next my first race was 50 meter after 5 min it was my turn i ware my fins becouce i can't walk with them ouviously i saw my parents standing near me and the captain rasing thier hands and encuraging me and dad was takeing his mobile out to take a video of me so proud even before i do anything i felt that they were telling me whatever you will do we will be always proud of you and always emcourage you i felt a little warm and smiled with embaressment and happines and stood on the start ( a cube but have a slope towards the water which you jump from) and bended my body with the first whistle which is for ready and then the judge made the second and we all jumped i didn't feel pain from the exitment and as soon as i flouted on the water i swam with every thing i got with my fastest speed when i saw i was swimming very fast and easy without any pain all my anxiaty dissapered and then i swam faster from happines and i was soo close to the finish of the pool so i extended my hand and with all i had of strength i hit the end of the pool and then hit it with my other hand to make sure my scoar was written then raise my head and take off my glasses and that damen snorkel and a smile crossed my face as i sighed a sigh of releife then i got out of the pool and took off my fins and my buna and went to my parents who conhrtulate me and told my my score which was 38 seconds in 50 meters and it was a good score for my first time i was happy and proud of my self it was a great day with a happy memorie i went to my grandmother and she hugged me so hard and kissed me alot and was very happy for me and so my ant and grandfather did and they made a cake for me and congratulated me i was beyand happy and i went home and thanked god again and slept like a baby.
