"I was looking at the waves and said they are so beautiful. I'm a good swimmer, but I don't usually swim there. The current was extreme. I jumped and grabbed the rock to stay there, and the water was still coming at me."
"Everything went so fast. I was on the rock and started climbing from left to right and then I realized that it wasn't a good idea, but it was the idea to save myself in the moment."
"I want to say - thank you so much. Because I now have a future because of this person."
"I thought about it. My destiny was gone in one minute."
