I have loved being in the water since age 2. At age 7 I was swimming competitively. I love the thrill of a race; the excitement and challenge of beating the girl next to me. I also danced competitively all of my life, so I know what it takes to work hard to achieve a goal. I would love to swim in college. I hope to be an elementary teacher, and if I can swim in college while earning my degree; this would truly be a dream. I am passionate, make friends easily, and love competition.
