Forgetting about Everything
Fishing
Contributed by Lorenzo Sinoe Lopez

My favorite place is when I go fishing. I forget about everything else and think about what I need to do to change my life. I like to go with my brother because we talk, fish, then we move to another place and we fish, fish, and fish.

One day my brother had a fish on his hook, but the line started to break. He said, ‘Jump in the water so the fish won’t go.’ So I jumped in the water with my clothes on and my socks & shoes on. The water was so cold! I wrestled with the muskie and got it out of the water. Three days later, the fish went to my stomach.
