Once I joined my first club team during my freshman year of high school, I developed a strong attachment to swimming. I love the feeling of racing and pushing myself as hard as I can to try to beat my previous time. I work hard at school and at practice and have great time management skills so even with 3 hour practices, I find a way to study for my upcoming test. I would love to continue my life as a student athlete in college and look forward to the new challenges that this experience will bring me.
