I began swimming as a child and have always had a passion and a drive for it. Some of the things I have learned is how valuable being apart of a team is. It’s been great going through life with a family outside of my actual family. I’ve had a major issue with academics over the years but I’ve always worked through them and worked as hard as I can to get to where I need to be whether that mean’t coming early for help and tutorials or staying late after school. I work really hard in everyday life especially when there are obstacles in my way, and that means facing that obstacle head on. I never back down from a challenge. I have gone through life with honesty, and perseverance. I try to be as positive as I can even when it’s nearly impossible.
