Miracle On The Hudson, SLJ Day 2
In 2009, what is now known as a 'Miracle' occurred on the Hudson River, New York. Mr Chesley Sullenberger landed his plane on the water after both engines failed. Mr Chesley became very famous. This took a lot of courage and skill. For this SLJ activity, I have to recount a time when me or a family member did something brave.
Surfing Fail.
It was the 13th of July, the day after my B-Day. I was taking my first ever surf lesson in Hawaii. I was doing a one-on-one lesson with surfing pro Reed (I don't know his last name). He was showing me how to turn the surf board once I had caught the wave. After waiting, we finally found a suitable wave. "Paddle! Paddle! Paddle!" Reed yelled. I did exactly that. I knew the drill. With surfing, you paddle until the wave finally catches up. Then you pull yourself up an crouch low, and quickly, but not to quickly. You don't want to fall. you keep your legs bent, and to turn, you twist you hips and slightly lean forward. I tried this and then ended up on the bottom of the ocean, and when I came up for air, there were people laughing everywhere. So yeah, Fail. But Also very brave. (In my eyes at least!).
