Being a numerically inclined thinker, the main things I value are character, growth, and results. I know I don't have as much experience as many other swimmers, but that will not disuade me from my desire of swimming at the collegiate level. But, I firmly believe that with the right mindset, atmosphere, and academic perserverance I will excell both in and out of the pool. Now, I'm not expecting myself to appear on the world stage and forever memorialilze my acccomplishments anywhere in my future. But hey, a man can dream, can't he?
