2020 Highlights
2019 HighlightsMy swimming career began at the age of three at the Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, VA. Ironically, I was terrible swimmer while growing up. My body grew so quickly, so I looked older than I actually was; however, my long, stocky body felt like dead weight in the pool. As a result, I hated attending swim practice. I didn’t see the correlation between hard work and improvement, so I suffered through practices and meets only to appease my parents. When I was 13, though, everything changed. My older brother was recruited to Loyola for swimming, and I became envious. I had this instant urge to better than him. I finally started trying and wanted to be a swimmer.
By the time I was in high school, I excelled in the free-style stroke. I currently hold records on our varsity swim team and helped the team win the Tri-City Tournament in 2019. That jealousy I felt towards my older brother has motivated me to break record after record of his. I still have two records of his to beat on my club team, but I am determined to do so this school year. Even though I am defined my athleticism, I have worked hard to succeed in academics. Freshman year, I attended The Lab School in D.C., an institution that specifically helps students with dyslexia and dysgraphia. Sophomore year, though, my parents decided to transfer me to our city’s public high school - T.C. Williams. With accommodations in place for my learning disabilities, I was able to take honors courses and do well. This year, I decided to take even more rigorous courses, so I enrolled in Advanced Placement Literature and Composition and Dual Enrollment U.S. History. I am proud of my course load and my ability to balance both school work and sports. I hope to continue my role as a scholar athlete in college, swimming for a competitive Division school.
