7、“You must give something back to your community,” my mother told me summers ago. Since she was  1   me to do something. I figured that I might as well enjoy it and so I decided to  2  swim lessons . I love the  3  and I thought I could  4  that love with others by helping little kids learn to swim.

As an assistant to an instructor I started off . When I got in the water, I   5  a boy of about eight sitting on the edge of the poo1 looking   6 . That was how I got to know Jack.

While   7  to get Jack in , I was told that he had a(n)  8  that caused him to be afraid of many things,  9  the water. He was so scared that when he first got in , he held me very tightly. I had thought this would be a long and  10  two weeks with Jack,  11  after a while he became more comfortable  12  me and began to love the water. His parents watched him with the biggest   13  . They never thought their son would be able to   14  .

I felt like such a hero for making the  15   so happy. By the end of the two weeks, I had a special tie with Jack, and I'll never forget him and the difference I made to his  16    .Although teaching him to swim may sound like no big deal, it  17  huge.

On the last day of the lessons, Jack's mother told me  18  he always talked about me at home, and was so  19  to come to this lesson every day. These are the  20  things which make my community worth all the time. That's what I've given over the past few summers.
