The things that seperate me and the rest of the respective field in my opinion, is that I am willing to work hard, I am persistent with my work load and realistic, I am also committed to being the very best I can be, not just academically or athletically, but as person it is important to set the right example for people to follow you and believe in you so that you can take every opportunity given in life for you to succeed. In the past I have made many mistakes throughout my swimming career and my high school pathway but not once have I given in, nor have I not succeed in what I wish to accomplish. These traits make me, me, I feel that this has built my character to accept change and take me where ever I would like to go in any walk of life not just academically and or athletically but as a person. My goals as a swimmer are to achieve the highest level of swimming possible to me, which I one day would love to follow through with my childhood dream of going all the way to the Olympics.
