A true story of determination and stepping out of the comfort zone is exactly what Jerry pursues when he tries to tackle swimming under the long underwater tunnel for himself alone. In this short story Jerry exemplifies the great amount of courage and preparation it takes to battle personal fears to gain personal pride. As dangerous as it may seem for a young boy his age, Jerry overcame his underwater anxiety and swam through the tunnel, almost dying on the way up. Through the Tunnel demonstrates the great amount of endurance we all had when it came to dealing with our obstacles.
