Ever since I watched the 2008 Beijing Olympics when I was only three years old, I knew I wanted to compete there one day. It has been one of my goals for the past 13 years and I am still determined to make it. I have been swimming competitively since the age of 10 and have improved tremendously ever since. I want to be the best swimmer I can possibly be so I always put maximum effort into anything I do. As the eldest sister of 5, I am very determined and hard-working and I desire to excel in the classroom as well as in the pool. Therefore, I believe that the best fit for me would be a school with rigorous academic courses and a competitive swim team.
