Little fish

I am not good at any sports.

In high school, I always could not control the ball well.(any kind of balls) I practiced as much as other people did, I still only make the ball just enough to get a grade. My teacher always told me: "It is fine, you tried and did your best, not every one is good at sports".

In college, I joined swim team and dreamed that I would be able to swim in California beach. After one year, my teacher told me: "I will let you pass the course, but you will not tell others. Please do not mention that you joined the swim team. I saw you practice often and did your best. Maybe you are better at land sports."

I went to California and is living in Hawaii. I went to many nice beachs. I took one swim course. And now, I still can not swim over 25M lap. I still not give up yet.......

Well, well, well, when Meiying asked to join the BPA swim team. I worried....what if she just like me? I tried to tell her: "It is fun to try, but not every one is good at sports...etc". Meiying insisted that she wanted to swim and did not like any other sports. I took her to the swim team and stayed with her every practice. From "just can float in the water" to "Free style, back stroke, butterfly...", Meiying is good at swimming!!!!!! Whoa!!!! Meiying is still in the swim team and went to several swim meets already.

Meiying look at me and say: "Mom, do not worry, I will teach you how to swim. After you deliver the baby, I will teach you." I am so happy that she has dad's sports gene. I hope that when Meiying teach me how to swim, she will not tell me: "Mom, not every one is good at sports".

She swim like a little fish. ;-) We are happy for her.
