Three kids to go until my turn to dive (跳水). At the front of the line, a girl in a pink swim suit is 36 and climbs onto the diving board. Will she change her 37, like I did last week, I wonder? Encouraged by the teacher, the Pink Girl 38. Only two kids to go. I feel very 39. You don’t have to do this, I tell myself. 40 next week is the pool party, my brain 41. You will be the 42 one who can’t go on the diving board.

As I am thinking, another girl dives into the 43. Then it’s my little brother Travis’ turn. I 44 my eyes, and then open them just in time to see him jump off the 45. He comes out of the water and smiles. I can’t help 46, too. Nothing scares that kid.

Then I realize it’s my 47. I climb onto the diving board. 48 are diving at the other end of the pool. Everywhere, everyone is 49. Except me.

“What are you 50?” asks the kid after my turn.

I step forward. Then I 51 Travis standing by the pool. “You can do it!” he shouts. That’s what I’ve 52 told him when he was 53 to tie his shoes or write his name.

I take a deep breath and step out into nothing. My body 54, and then I feel the water. I swim in the water for a while before I pull myself to the 55, where my face finds the sun. I DID IT!
