I have decided to share one of the best things that ever happened to me. Swimming. It became a huge part of my life and it helped to shape me into the person I am now. I was described as a fish. Once I learned how to swim, I never wanted to leave the water. Most kids would scream getting into the water but then there was me who would scream getting out of the water. I remember some of my early trips to local pools with my grandma and my mom. Later, my sisters would tag along and we would play with mermaid Barbie's. We would also play restaurant and we would be out of literally everything. These trips only furthered my interest in the sport but gave the foundations I needed to grow. I might not have known that at the time, but they were.
