Ever since the moment I jumped into the water, I knew I never wanted to get out. Since that meaningful event, I was hungry to achieve my goals and become the best athlete I could ever be. Over the years of competing, my passion for the sport grew immensely as my appetite for mastering the skills to my stroke to winning every race I could became something that stayed on my mind 24/7. I have always been fortunate enough to be seen as a leader on my team encouraging teammates to always do their best and give them constructive feedback on their technique and stroke as much as I can for their benefit. My latest accomplishments have only increased my desire to achieve even more in the pool, which I aspire to do at a collegiate level. Despite the fact of my love for the sport, my academic future is just as important to me. I aim to study architecture during my collegiate time as I've been forever captivated by the way structures are designed. As seen in my academic reports, I have been able to learn the ability of balancing an intense sport with a workload of exams and assignments. I look forward to finding a school that will assist me in advancing in and outside of the pool.
