Cross country memoir

This is my cross country memoir.Please read it and comment if you want me to work on something

I was shaking.Heading towards the start line was nerve breaking.Mr VB reminded us that to just keep trying and don’t give up.The horn went.Everybody sprinted but I just kept a steady pace and I didn’t wanted to get too tired on my first lap.As we ran, the mud squelched into my shoe and the grassed gripped my shoes as I ran.I was so puffed I could hardly breathe! I was on my second round and I was so nervous because we had to go up Mount Everest.I tried not to slip while I was going down the hill because otherwise I would be covered in mud, even though it’s good for you.I came down the hill and as I pasted Hillary block I saw my sister’s class cheering for me and it gave me more strength to run so I ran faster and faster, I tried not to stop,but I had to it was too tiring,it was like I was forced to run a marathon, actually it’s exactly that.I went down the driveway for the first time and we had to go through the driveway twice!I went down the ramp.I went up the bank and said to myself, “I have to do this all over again?!”So I did.once again going up the hill going down it slowly and I almost slipped.Once again going past the Hillary passing my sister’s class and they were cheering even louder this time.So then again it gave me heaps of strength and it gave me so much energy that I didn’t stop running.I went up the bank and I went down the bank and I headed towards the finish line sprinting as fast as I could and while I was going down the finishing shoot I thought “why is it so long?”But eventually I finished.That is the tough story of my cross country nightmare.

Swimming writing 

Room 2 had our third lesson of swimming and I finally found my yellow swimming togs.We got changed into our togs and hopped into the pool, I was in the third group and there were four groups.We got in the lanes and then we got the kick boards and did some freestyle kicking and backstroke kicking, we did a few laps of swimming with the kick boards.then when the instructor thought we were ready we did it without the board.We did 2 laps of freestyle.Then we did dolphin dive back to the instructor.Then we did backstroke with the arms, we did 1 lap of backstroke.then we could do anything of our choice back to the instructor.Then we hopped out of the pool got changed and went back to school.
