Swimming is an activity that I geniuinely love to put all my effort into everyday. I am still extremely dedicated to the sport...I feel the same love for it I did 9 years ago when I first started. I thoroughly enjoy being part of a team atmosphere, and getting to compete at my best. Over time, I've learned to manage both my training and schoolwork very well, and I take as much pride in one as i do the other. I'm extremely positive and resilient, as I've swam through many frustrating injuries in the past two years. To say the least, I'm a student of the sport. I hope to attend a college that suits my academic needs, and be able to compete at the D1 level in the future.
