Fishing

This is a sporting event. Growing up; this was an activity we did with cousins. I learned how to use a fishing poll the same as everyone else. I was able to cast the fishing poll the same as everyone else. I was able to bait the hook of the fish like everyone else. If my hook got stuck or fell off; I did the same as the cousins and had my Dad or Uncles or Grandpa fix it. I never touched the poll like everyone else. I caught all the same fish. I did it. I felt a little behind and a little uneasy at most times till I could get it down right. It is just who I am. I learn slowly and it takes an amount of time to get it done. However; with time, I get it. I do it well too. I have caught all size fish and as a child; the best was catching a fish that would go into a bucket full of water to show the whole family of the accomplishment for the day!

Advice;

As a kid through my early adulthood; I was apart of the cousins group and learned how to fish. I think this was always a good example of cognitive and reactive response to ensure that my stroke side and my ability to identify what I was doing was there. It was also good that I was just like my sisters and cousins and the whole family with the opportunity to fish with a regular fishing poll and bait hooks. It is the best feeling to feel apart of doing the same thing. As a kid; it is not easy to understand that you are not like the others and need more time to get things done. As an adult it is ok. Everyone’s maturity level differs and the space you get is great to do your own pace without feeling rushed.
