| Several years ago, my Dad had me take a scuba | | | | items. Diving on shipwrecks is amazing. The |
| diving class. It was the most worthwhile class with | | | | pressure of the water dragging the ship down to |
| the most useful information I have ever taken. | | | | the bottom has blown out the portholes. Where |
| Since then my Dad and I have logged a lot of | | | | you used to see the horizon line through the |
| dives. My ultimate dream job would be to become | | | | portholes you now see little fish swimming in and |
| a commercial diver in a beautiful warm place like | | | | out of their vacant circles. Going in the ships can |
| Florida or in the Bahamas. I love diving so much, | | | | be scary, especially if you are scared of tight |
| that to make a whole career of it would be | | | | spaces, but I am always amazed to see how fully |

| with a staircase leading down to a dock. Attached | | | | showing people how to dive and taking them to |
| to the dock will be a sailboat on the left side, | | | | see things they can only see underwater. It can |
| which I will use to take people on sailing trips | | | | be a once in a lifetime experience for some |
| when I am not diving. On the right side of the | | | | people, and seeing their smiles as a huge fish |
| dock, will be a Grady White motorboat that I can | | | | swims past their face is something that can only |
| use to take customers out to go diving on | | | | be appreciated if you see it for yourself. I hope |
| stunning and colorful coral reefs. | | | | someday my dream job can become a reality for |
