Have you ever wondered what it is like in a shark attack? I learnt the hard way for that one.
"Kara breakfast is ready" yelled Mum.
"Coming'' I said.
For breakfast we had amazing eggs on toast with delicious orange juice.
"Mum can Tameka, Kara and I go surfing?'' Tom said.
"Sure but be back by 6:23 pm'' Mum yelled before we left.
"Bye'' I said to my Mum.
We finally got to the beach and off went. Tom caught 3 small waves, Tameka caught 5 big waves and I caught 9 giant waves.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh help me'' I screamed.
"Get her to the reef''Tom yelled.
I finally got to the reef and I had to swap to Tom's board well he went to call 000 and my Mum. After I got to shore I was rushed to hospital. Lots of my friend's came to visit and my school even gave me money!! I am pretty sure I got at least $838. The day after I had surgery I won the biggest surfing competition in Australia!
"Mum, Mum I just won the surfing competition!'' I yelled with excitement.
"That's amazing'' Mum said.
"Thanks'' I said.
That's the lesson of my life!!!
