英文小作文：

I remember my first time floundering in the ocean, feeling lost and overwhelmed by the vastness of the waves and the unknown depths below me. It was a moment of realisation that life can be full of uncertainties and challenges, but it"s how we deal with them that defines us. I learned to trust my instincts, to persevere and keep going, even when things seem hopeless. That"s what it means to grow up and face the challenges of life head on. I hope you all have the courage to face yours with the same determination and resilience that I have learned from the ocean.
