I have been swimming competitively for almost 10 years and it has always been a huge part of my life along with school. It has always been my dream to compete at a collegiate level to get at least 4 more years of doing the sport I love. Along with prioritizing academics, swimming in both club and high school has taught me how to balance my life and value the important things. Swimming has taught me so many life lessons and I leave each practice, race, or training session always wanting to be better than I was before. While swimming is a mainly individual sport, I have always loved the team environment and how I can not only compete against myself but others as well. Swimming in college would be my greatest achievement, and it would allow me to push myself and continue to be the best version of myself while pursuing my education.
