I've been swimming since I was six years old, and always seemed to have a natural feel for the water. Swimming takes a lot of dedication, but I've managed to balance out my life in the pool, at church, and in my academics. One of the greatest compliments I've ever received was that my work ethic is outstanding. I've worked hard to maintain a steady drop in times throughout each season, and my dreams reflect the many hours I've spent in the pool. My goal is to swim for an athletically and academically challenging school, and I want to contribute to the team's points and be on the A relays, even if I have some improvement to do to achieve those dreams.
