Driven by Instinct
One of the main differences between children and adults is the fact that children make much less calculated decisions. Whilst adults think about every move, thought, and idea, children, are more preoccupied with their feelings, intuitions, and desires. And whilst there are pros and cons to each way of life, it was the child-like thinking that saved this little boy.
Tiara, Massiah’s mom, had enrolled him and his brother in swimming lessons from a very young age. It was important for her that her children know how to swim for enjoyment and in the case of an emergency. After Tiara had heard the news, she knew that it was as a result of his many swimming lessons that he was able to do this.
