Being able to compete at the college level isn't something to be taken for granted because many other students such as myself constantly fought to be able to attain the position we get at our dream schools, so if I do retain a place at a college for swimming, I will always make sure to give my 110% because it isn't always about being the fastest or the best, it's mainly about the effort and quality that you put in that will allow you to push to your best. I want to be able to experience gaining new knowledge and friendships along the way and be able to support those that I care about to the best of my abilities.
