This is my unforgettable experience. It happened when I was in the elementary school. I and my family planned to go to the Tirtamaya beach in Indramayu on the semester weekend.

One sunny day, we were ready to go there. We prepared everything needed like food, changed clothes,mat, sun glasses and hat. We went there by my uncle’s car. There was my father sitting at front seat next to my my uncle who drove the car. There were my mother, my aunt, and my little sister sitting at the second seat in the car. And, there were my cousins named Evianah and Selvi, also me sitting at the back seat of the car. We seemed very happy. We sang all the way long while looking out of the window’s car. “Ohh it’s really beautiful scenery!”, I said. Because, we seemed very close to the beach.

Finally, we got there after waiting for a long time in the car. My mother, my father, my aunt, my uncle and my little sister just sat on a mat which was put by my mother next to beach. They were talking each other while enjoying the food. I stayed at the shallow area at the beach because I couldn’t swim at least. And, my cousins swam far from me. We seemed to very enjoy having vocation here. We could play water here. But, when I really enjoyed by myself, suddenly a big wave came forward me and made me drown for a while. I tried to save myself. I throw my hands up asking for a help. Then, my cousins came and tried to help me. But, they couldn’t because the wave was higher and higher. ” Help….Help….Help…!”, I shouted. Luckily, there was a man who tried to help me. Still, I began to dissappear. The man swam forward me and looked for me. He was lucky to save me. Then, he took me aside. My parents, my aunt, my uncle,and my little sister finally came to me with my cousins. I was unconscious at the time. All of people looked at me and gave me some first aid. Several minutes later, I was conscious. I cried loudly at the time because I never forgot what had already happened to me. I was so lucky at the time. I’m still alive until now. I didn’t really know what would happened next if nobody saved me. Could I possibly survive?”.Yeah..meybe God knows what’s the best for me. God still allows me to live until now. Then, my parents took me home after that.
