Personal Narrative: My Family Vacation To Florida Keys
My Son
A couple years ago my husband and I decided to take our yearly family vacation to the Florida Keys. Ever since we moved to Florida in 2012, our family has fallen in love with the ocean. You could definitely see my oldest son Zane drawn to the ocean becoming very involved with the sea’s complex ecosystem that provided endless hours of entertainment. Zane was able to easily memorize multiple species of fish and coral. He continued studying the ocean taking several advanced marine biology and oceanography classes. He would always jump at the chance to apply his knowledge and teach those around him about the ocean. When we go to the beach together and discover a new fish Zane will explain the unique characteristics of that fish.

So when he resurfaced after a minute or two, I told him how irresponsible it was for swimming into unknown space with no clear way out. I was ferrous with my son Zane who is smarter than that and he should know better than to put his life in
