a whole lot of merde


Even though I hate it the majority of the time, swimming has influenced my life to the point of no return. It has given me so many opportunities in meeting new people, and traveling to new places; it has made me the person I am today. When I was younger I never imagined of swimming in college, and now it is common knowledge. the pressure from my parents, along with my family that is filled with D1 athletes doesn't make it any easier. I may seem confident in my abilities but I am not, to any extent. I often worry that I will never be good enough for a college team, not only because of my times but because of my many injuries. I have been described as a fixer upper, and the equivalent to a beat up pickup truck but I still prevail and train, even when it hurts. Many may seem my injuries as a flaw, but I do not. It has given me a chance to see the different fields of physical therapy, orthopedics, and so on, and has helped me find a field of medicine that I truly love. Swimming has broken me down again, and again; but overall has made me a strong and determined person.
