Swimming has been a big part of my life since 2015, which is when I started swimming competitively. Around then, I was never the fastest swimmer, frequently fighting to swim on C or D relays. Over time, I worked my way up to comfortably and consistently swimming on A relays. I really hated swimming on C and D relays and worked hard to get where I am today. My work ethic has stayed the same since then, whether it's in the pool, gym, or the classroom. I always know that no matter how good I do, or what achievements I accomplish, I can always do better. I'm only a junior now and I'm really excited for what the next year holds.
