I participated in summer swim from the age of 6. I swam for the high school swim team from the 9th grade. I qualified for the Louisiana State Championships for the first time as a junior. When I failed to make the St Paul’s varsity soccer team as a junior, (They were ranked in the top five in the country), I decided to swim year round. Since then, I have worked hard and loved the cameraderie of the swim team and the subsequent results in the pool. Unlike some of my peers, who I have seen burn out, I will be in no danger of burning out during my college career. Finally, I anticipate growing a few more inches which, along with hard weight and swim training will take my times to the next level. I haven’t decided on a major yet but I have narrowed it down to business, finance, engineering or construction management.
