My first year swimming in high school as an 8th grader taught me a valuable lesson. If you want to obtain a set of goals you must be willing to put in the work. At Mauldin HS , every year on August 1st at 12:01 am , we have our first practice of the season. It is called Midnight Madness because obviously it starts at midnight. I wasn't sure what to expect at all. The older kids were all excited and pumped up to hit the pool. I was too but I was very nervous. At some point in that 3-1/2 hour tryout set as my body went numb I decided that I wasn't going to let this defeat me. I knew I had to push through. When it was over I felt so proud to have endured it.
I am working towards several goals now. I want to finish in the top 25% of my high school class. I would also like to attend a college where I can get a Business degree and make an immediate impact on that schools swim program.
When I was younger I was diagnosed with ADHD. Swimming helps me be focused and disciplined in both the pool and the classroom. I like to set the example for my teammates by showing a strong work ethic in and out of the pool. I believe that showing your dedication by action is the best way to be a leader for others. Swimming has also helped me meet some of my best friends.
Sincerely ,
Benjamin Goodlett
