I'm so proud of you
Evan gave Frederick a big hug after they finished on the course.
"I'm so proud of you," Evan said. "I know that you weren't having fun, but you didn't give up."
Frederick told him, "Yeah, it was tough, but I feel pretty good. Swimming is much more fun though."
To see that look in his uncle's eyes, Frederick was almost ready to try it again. Almost.
