For the first time
The time I am spending in the United Kingdom is full of first times.
The first time I tried some dish, my first full English, my first beans on toast.
It is my first time out of America.
But nothing is like the first time I tried to swim. Yes, I have missed many simple things during my life.
Last weekend I was in Wales and I had the opportunity to try.
I was not considering swimming so I even had swimming cloths. It was something had been out of my life as far as this weekend.
Initially I was very afraid for I am not very young, but I had my friends to help me.
For the a first time I think I did well, I’ll practice more and maybe this sport will became part of my life for now on.
I had to give up on many usual things when I was younger. I do not regret. Maybe it is that I have my own time, and it is now.
From all the first times I am having in this country and for many others that are to come, I am sure that nothing will be as present in my life as the first time I felt the power of gravity while leaving the swimming pool for the first time.
Someone once said life is a set of simple things, so it is life.

A very nice piece of writing. Congratulations!
There is a song "Turn, Turn, Turn!" which, in its various versions, includes the line "To everything, there's a season!" and what you transmit is a similar idea, regardless your age, there's a chance for doing everything, and everytime you start doing something new, you've got that thrill, as if you were a child.

Very interesting, Alexandre. One day you should try to skate (on ice). It is cool.
It is important not to get descouraged by potential failures. :)
