A time when I tried something new was when I ate fried calamari in an Italian restaurant in New York. I thought it looked like french fries, so I tried it, but it was actually fried squid! I liked it before I knew what it was, but now I choose not to like it.
I tried something new when I was 5 years old. I got on my dad's back in the pool and tried to touch the flag that was really high up. I couldn't reach it so my I told my dad to throw me up so I could touch it. That was really fun!
One time I tried to water ski, but I never got up but I still try it, because once you can get up it looks like its fun, so I will still try it once I get to go to my lakehouse.
One of the things that I have tried and like now is lacrosse. In my first season, I was playing with seventh and eighth graders. I was really scared of being hit with all their might and being made into a human pretzel. Though I am smaller than them, I am still playing with them and having a lot of fun.
A time that I decided to try something new was when I decided to try Junior Lifeguards. I tried it and I ended up liking it so now I do it every year in the summer.
One time I tried something new was when I was at my house with my mom and dad. We were eating artichokes and my dad said to try the heart, instead of just the leaves. I said that it was gross and I didn’t want to. After a while I gave in and tried the artichoke heart. It was way better than I thought! Now every time I have an artichoke I always eat the heart.
A time when I tried something new was when, I was 9 and I joined a soccer team. Another time I tried something new was the year and I tried out for the school play. Now I know what to do by either playing soccer or trying out for the play next year.
One day, I was playing on the playground before my lacrosse game, and my friends told me to slide down this one pole. I was scared because when I hold on to a pole or a bar my hands start swetting really badly. When I did it I thought it was really fun, so I did it over and over until it was time to start warming up.
A time when I tried something new was in Gymnastics and the thing that I did, was a front walk over. I did this and it took me a few tries and finally did it I did it. I did this by running and after that I flipped. I got to ring the skill bell and I was full of relief.
A time when I tried something new was when I went to the Back Bay with my cousins to go night fishing. I thought it was going to be boring, but it was really fun! We parked two boats next to each other in the bay and cooked dinner on them (and hot chocolate). When we caught fish, we would let them go.
One day I tried a mango, I didn't want to try it but I did. I loved mango, and I still do. Another time when I tried something knew, I didn't want to eat zukenee. When I put it in my mouth I spit it out right away.
A time when I tried something new was when I was five,I tried to skateboard down a pool at the free volcom skatepark.I spraned my arm because when I went down I fell instantly and landed on my arm.
A time when I tried something new was when one of my dad's friends told me when I was six to do a handstand in the pool and breath under water. Of course, I did it, I came up coughing really bab because while I was breathing I swallowed some water.
A time I tried something new is when I ate shrimp at my aunt's cristmas party. My mom kept telling me to try it and probably wouldn't stop until I ate it. I decided to try it and it actually was really good! I had tried something new by force...is that still considered TRYING something new.
A time when I tried something new was when I was going to play soccer for the very first time (I was 5 years old). It wasn’t a good time cause I didn’t know much about soccer cause it turns out that I scored on my old team!
