salvation

Langston Hughes essay "salvation," tell the story of when he was a young man and pressure he face from his family. During the a revival that his church was throwing,he was face with pressure from his aunt to stand up and be saved.Because of the pressure he compromise his own beliefs. The in sight that he got from the experience, is that peer pressure can come from any where and you should always stick to what you believe in. I can relate to peer pressure that Hughes face because in high school I face pressure from a beautiful girl.

I can remember when I was in high school there I feel in love with a girl named kassidy.
She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. She had long dark hair and some of the most beautiful brown eye I Have eave seen, and smile that would make a man melt.
One day, In P.E. class we were in the swim quarter. Knowing that I was lacking in the swim skill category, I have all ready decided that I was going to take an F for this quarter.But her come kassidy looking at me with those brown eyes of hers and she say "Come on Dennis put on you short and lets go swimming." So I go and put my shorts on and join her in the three foot end of the pool.we'er splashing and having a blast in the shallow end when she says that we should go to the 12 foot end. I tell her I'm not comfortable with that cause of my swim skill level. Again she look at me with those brown eyes so said "fine lets do this." Now im on the wall Inching my way till I reach the deep end.There I am holding on to the edge of the pool when Kassidy tell me to let go of the the wall and like an idiot in love, I do. AS soon as I do I sink like a stone.
At this point I need some one to same me and the person who does is Kassidy. As Man, having the girl I trying to impress save me was the worst part of the whole thing.
NOw I never let anyone pressure me in doing thing I am uncomfortable with.
