make no mistake. I’m fine. 10 year old Jasmine. Carney is one brave, cool kid. I fought *** shark in one. You heard that right? Just 48 hours ago. *** shark coming right at jasmine at Hope Sound Beach. What did you see? What did you hear? Something grabbed me? So I’m like, don’t you touch me? It looked pretty big and it was gray. It hurt. So I’m like, kick it, run away. She’s just cool. I was amazed. She came running up that beach screaming dan and nana. Something bit me, something bit me. And I saw the blood. I went and got *** lifeguard jasmine flying by chopper to palm Beach Children’s Hospital at ST mary’s shark bite coming over stunning her surgeon. Well, she was very positive from the get go. Why? Why *** little girl so collected. Even with *** badly beat up foot. There’s *** piece missing. It’s about this big, luckily for her. This was the only location that she was beaten. We asked young Jasmine how she’s managing to keep calm all this time. This is kind of my favorite one busting out her camera roll to answer that she’d like everyone to meet her six year old brother Jackson. He’s pretty curious, so I might as well stay calm because I know he might want he wouldn’t want me to be scared because he’s the best little brother in the world. Better add another attribute. That’s one sweet sibling, brave and cool kid. Bye
