a 'waterbaby'. I never truly understood what they meant. I mean was I born under

water? Did I always drink it? When I think of those questions that I asked myself, I

feel somewhat embarrassed. Deep down, it is so simple, so obvious what that phrase

means. It represents me; it is a part of my personality, that little something, which

makes me unique from others - water.

It may seem strange to associate a human being with water but to me it all

makes perfect sense. Water reflects my personality, the way I sometimes act. Even

my bedroom resembles water in some way. I have always loved the water even from

an early age, since the first time my mum and dad washed me in a bath. To me it is a

place to relax, to let go as if all my problems float away. Water is so calm, it

surrounds me like a support, and it is my safety.

Every personality is different; each of us has something unique and interesting

about us. Some may be obvious whereas mine is a little harder to find comparisons.

My personality and attitude can be peaceful, calm and supportive to others, but I have

it the light beams off my ceiling and shows different blurred colours, just like the ones

me until a few months back. I was finally allowed to decorate my room and

coping mechanism I use swimming or even just a long soak in the bath to ease the

which I like to keep quiet. My family is aware of my love of swimming and to an

baby' and probably will remain so throughout my whole life.
