While on vacation with her family in Florida, twelve-year-old Melissa Rodriquez became fascinated with underwater creatures. While swimming unsupervised with her cousins, a shark grabbed Melissa's ankle, and she was pulled along the lake. Remembering what she had learned back at the aquarium show, Melissa kicked the shark in its eyes and nose - the most sensitive part of the shark.
