The moment I sat in my first rowing shell, I was hooked. I love every aspect of the sport: the beauty, the challenge, the satisfaction of rowing a great race, the long hard erging sessions, and most of all the camaraderie.
I enjoy the blisters, the pain, and the soreness. Because I know that I am pushing myself and being challenged in areas that will change my life forever.
I will forever be a rower; but I want to take it to the next level and learn from the best. My goal with rowing is to row in college and get on the national team and represent our country in this amazing sport. Rowing is not just a sport but a way of life. It instills rowers with character, strength, discipline, and honor. This sport teaches things that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
