I aspire to compete at the college level where I can strive to be the best I can be and also be pushed by the teammates around me. I started diving in the 6th grade and it instantly became my favorite sport because it gives me excitement and challenges everyday. Diving has taught me not to get down on myself when I have a bad meet, but to learn from what I did wrong and fix it for the next time. Competing at the state tournament as helped become an improved diver because I could look up to the older divers and see what they did to be as excellent as they are. I love diving and being with the people around me and making new memories with my teammates. They push me everyday and make practice so entertaining everyday. My academics are just as important to me as my athletics. I like to be challenged academically to be what’s expected of me.
