With a guiding hand from his patient teacher and support from his mom, Mateo learns that success isn't about being the best, but about trying his hardest. Will Mateo's perseverance help him win over his classmates and discover the true meaning of justice?
Mateo woke up excited for his first swimming class. He packed his swim gear and couldn't wait to dive into the pool. But when class started, Mateo struggled to swim as fast as the other kids. They laughed and said, "You're too slow!" Mateo felt sad and worried he would never be good at swimming.
The teacher asked everyone to swim across the pool. Mateo tried his best, but he took much longer than the other kids. "You're like a turtle, Mateo!" a boy teased him. Mateo felt embarrassed and wanted to hide. He worried he might never fit in.
Every time Mateo tried to swim faster, he would splash water everywhere and get tired. Another child said, "Maybe you should just watch us instead!" Mateo felt even more upset. He thought about giving up on swimming altogether.
Mateo sat on the poolside, feeling defeated. His teacher, Ms. Julie, came over and sat next to him. - Mateo, what's wrong? Ms. Julie asked. - I can't swim like the others, Mateo said, tears in his eyes. Ms. Julie gently explained, - It's not about being the best, but trying your best.
Ms. Julie suggested practicing a little every day. Mateo's mom agreed to help him practice. At first, Mateo still struggled, but each week he got a little better. - You're improving, Mateo! his mom cheered. Mateo began to believe in himself again.
After weeks of practice, Mateo returned to class and swam across the pool with confidence. His classmates were amazed. - Wow, Mateo, you're really fast now! they exclaimed. Mateo smiled and said, - It's all about trying your best. The kids learned that effort is more important than winning.
