But he does not know if he can make it. After he show the boys he has the gut to jump off the rock, he want to prove that he is a man enough to swim through the tunnel in the rock. Jerry knew that he won't be able to make it. He convinced his mother to buy him goggles, which he will use to see where the tunnel begins. He could not communicate with other boys because the boys speak French while he speak English. He was afraid to swim through the tunnel, because it is too dark. He had experienced alot of obstacles during his swimming proces. Final, he managed to swim through, eventhough he was very tired.

My experience during blog creation




It was my first time to hear about the blog when we were asked to create our own blogs. I thought it was easy to create it, because our lecturer had told us that, it is almost look like a Facebook account. I went to www.blogger.com to begin with the creation. It asked me to enter all my personal details at first, and this was a piece of cake to me. They then gave some codes to re-type. This was then a disaster to me. I re-typed those codes four times, simply because I was failing to re-type them correctly for three times. I believe that, this was because they were giving me different codes every time. That gave me a tough time which almost made me to gave up. But, after I managed to type them correct when I tried for the 4th time.
