My Courageous Moment

One of my courageous moments were when my cousins, siblings, and I were at my grandpa's hotel swimming. At that time I was about 9 years old and I wasn't that good at swimming. Neither were any of my siblings or cousins. We were playing a game when one of my siblings were crying out for help. She was at a deep part of the pool and was starting to drown. I panicked and didn't know what to do. In my head, I was thinking to myself that I would drown if I went to help. But then again, she was my sibling and everyone else were panicking, looking for someone. Since no one was there, I swam as best as I could to my sister and reached for her. When she grabbed me, I could feel myself sinking slowly, but I kept on swimming and didn't give up. Finally, I reached a shallow part of the pool and let her down. By the time we were there, my aunt, grandpa, and my uncle had come and I was exhausted from paddling so much. My sister thanked me and everyone told me how proud they were. I was so proud of myself for not giving up and now, I always save my siblings from drowning.
