I started diving in 8th grade. Since then I have used my determination to gain confidence and skill in my dives. In life and in diving, I strive to do my best. I aim to improve my strengths and nullify my weaknesses. I put care into what I do and am constantly looking for ways to improve. I am a rock under pressure, and perform at my highest capacity in competition. In my life I put those same skills to use to hopefully achieve my dreams of going into space, and have already made strides in the right direction; learning to fly, studying the stars, and applying myself academically.
