Nick Jonas recalls his death-defying first memory in an exclusive excerpt from the Jonas Brothers' highly anticipated memoir 'Blood'
is an exploration of the brothers’ lives as they each remember it that is set for release on November 9th.My first memory is very revealing: It’s of doing something beyond my years. Our relatives always used to say that we were born in the wrong order. It was early autumn. I had just turned three, and I decided to go for a swim. There were three problems with this otherwise unremarkable decision. In order of gravity, they were:3. I didn’t know how to swim.
But when I set my mind to something, I don’t let small obstacles like these get in my way. I fully believe that anything someone else can do, within reason, I can achieve as well. This has been a theme in my life. When I see something as possible, I generally don’t need advice or their encouragement. I just need to make it happen.
So, I snuck out of our apartment, scaled the fence, and hopped directly into the pool. As I felt the water rush around me and the punch of deep coldness against my lungs, I started . . . swimming. I don’t know how I did it. I’d never swum before—or even floated on my own. It just came naturally to me. Propelled by blind confidence, I made it across the length of the pool, hopped out, climbed the fence, and walked back home. So, like Joe’s, my first memory was a near-death experience too.
