From Age Eleven To Age Sixteen I

From Age Eleven To Age Sixteen I Lived A Spartan Life Without The Usual Adolescent Uncertainty. I Wanted To Be The Best Swimmer In The World, And There Was Nothing Else.

You Have A Dream And You Have Obstacles In Front Of You As We All Do. None Of Us Ever Get Through This Life Without Heartache, Without Turmoil, And If You Believe And You Have Faith And You Can Get Knocked Down And Get Back Up Again And You Believe In Perseverance As A Great Human Quality, You Find Your Way.

This Journey Has Always Been About Reaching Your Own Other Shore No Matter What It Is, And That Dream Continues.

I Am Willing To Put Myself Through Anything; Temporary Pain Or Discomfort Means Nothing To Me As Long As I Can See That The Experience Will Take Me To A New Level.

When You Achieve Your Dreams It's Not So Much What You Get, It's Who You Become.
