I was raised by my parents...

Through good times and bad, ?happiness and sadness,
My parents have always been there for me.

I was encouraged by my failures...

Missing swimming time cuts
“Better luck next time” kind of attitude
Failing made me who I am

I was brought up by swimming...

Up the pool, down the pool,
lessons learned along the way.
“Go faster!” I was told,
learning to push myself to the limit kind of swimming.

I was challenged by injuries...

Cuts and bruises,
pulled muscles and continuous pain,
broken arms and wrists.
Pain through injuries made me stronger.

I was raised by Caring People...
