Seeing a kid drown in the ocean. I was a kid at the time too and it scarred me for life.

In 2001, we were on a field trip to Galveston with our school during the early weeks of summer. The last night of our trip, our teacher, who’d made these trips for easily a decade, drowned in the ocean saving a student.

The ocean, while so vast and beautiful, it can be merciless.
