I genuinely love playing water polo. It brings out the best in me, as a person and as an athlete. I'm a great team mate and an exceptional leader that enjoys tackling challenges. Unlike the majority of teenagers, I'm almost always positive and I spread enthusiasm and energy, which in my opinion is rare. I never slack off in the pool or in class. I make sure my work is done but I don't use it as an excuse to skip practice. I want to continue playing this sport that has brought so much fun and joy to my life, and continue playing with other people who share that same aspiration.
