Ever since I made my high school's varsity swim & diving team, I knew I wanted to take my athletic journey as far and high as possible. Because I began swimming and training much later than most(13 years old), I have always embraced the mindset of working with my best effort every day. I am willing to try and do everything that will make me a better athlete, teammate, student, and person. I am confident that my lack of physical advantages such as height will not hinder me in the pool as long as I consistently work with my best effort.
