好驕傲，她完成了一件我們都沒完成的事，中文在英文下面唷！
We are very proud of Jessica’s efforts today to qualify for the Dicky Beach Nippers (Junior) Surf Life Saving Club today. It began with an assessment at the local swimming pool where she had to swim 50m and float on her back for a minute. Then we had to go down to Dicky Beach for an open water ocean swim. The water was extremely choppy and rough and she had to swim out to a buoy about 50m out and back unassisted. Despite never having done that before, she braved the water with waves crashing over her the whole way and completed the swim. It was a massive effort to overcome her doubts and fears. She broke down a little after the swim but it’s a huge step forward in her self belief and now she gets a unique opportunity to be a part of the surf lifesaving community here on the Sunshine Coast.
Unfortunately Jayden got NYQ (Not Yet Qualified) on his swimming assessment but he had fun and is sure to give it another go soon!
我們今天在高爾夫球課後，直奔去考Nipper，拔拔和媽媽都好驕傲，因為她完成了一項我們都沒有達成的事！
Little Nipper是Surf Club會訓練的小小海灘救生員，要加入他們成為學員，每個年齡層都有不同的測試，不滿9歲的姐姐要做泳池自由式50公尺，仰浮1分鐘，然後才可以去海邊測第二階段的實地測驗，要在海水裡游50公尺！
今天的浪很大，基本上走出去就會被打回來，姐姐是在游不出、游不回來的狀態下完成的，因為浪大，游出去一點，就被打回來3點，游回來一點，就被捲回去3點，她從來沒有做過這樣的事，但她還是認真努力並且克服自己的恐懼勇敢的完成了！
媽媽幫她錄影的7分鐘裡不停的為她禱告，同一個時間也不盡感動的流淚，心裏不盡讚嘆「妳好棒呀！」
我和爸爸都驚訝她可以這麼如魚得水，我們從來都知道她的水性很好，但卻不知道她真的游這麼好，我們第一次看她這樣認真的游泳，心情為她而激動，也因為她而充滿感動！
雖然結束離開現場的她在放鬆後，玻璃心有碎了一會兒，哭了一會兒，她覺得游泳在海裡好辛苦，怕自己沒做好，但在爸媽和陪考官的安撫下，一下子後又恢復了自信，因為考官說，你說你游的不好，但妳真的很會游，厲害耶！
Good Job Jessica！
我們真的很為妳感到無比的驕傲💪
接下來的旅程我相信會是很豐富和精彩的，妳一定會很享受陽光海岸帶給妳美好，而Nipper的環境，一定會添加更多美麗的色彩在妳的人生的，加油、加油，我的大寶貝，You are awesome ❤️
