My goal is to be accepted and attend a college that meets my criteria: both, education and swimming. I am a dedicated student and swimmer. I'm a member of my high school's National Honor Society chapter. I also never miss practice! If I do, I make sure I swim that day where ever I am. I always give 100%. I had mononucleosis last fall and didn't even know it until two months later. I kept practicing even when my body was telling me to rest. I learned how to listen to my body better this year. After short course season was over this past year, I decided not to compete in long course in order to get my health back to where it needs to be. I'm still practicing every day and refueling my body to come back this fall better than ever. I'm also very respectful to my coaches. I take their critiques seriously and work harder to correct myself. I don't complain in the water and I try to mentor younger swimmers into doing the same. I know that I would be a positive addition to any swim team!
