My Intentions

Hi everyone!
I think that I should start this by introducing myself, but also telling you all why I am here.
I started swimming when I was a freshman in high school, and have been swimming for a little over three years now. I am an involved individual, to say the least, and am always running from place to place. My life seems hectic at times; trying to graduate from both high school and with an Associate's degree is a daunting endeavor. While my ACT and SAT scores may not be perfect (I pretty much suck at taking tests), my overall GPA is exceptional and I make up for it in my passion to be involved in many activities.
When I was a freshman I transferred from a small eighth grade graduating class of six students to a class of over six hundred students. I was scared and felt alone. Going to high school is a threatening transition for everyone. Society can be deceiving with its media such as "High School Musical." Reality is much less exciting, and a lot more stressful. However, it can be spectacular. You have to find what makes you special, and it's in everyone. You all have a certain "sweet spot" that makes you shine. That sounds cheesy but it is an essential part of this journey we call life. Over the coarse of these "swimming tip" sessions, I hope to share some insight with you all on how to help cope with the daily stresses you may encounter. Swimming might not be the same outlet for you as it is for me, but that is my intent; to help you find something to help you with stress and to act as an outlet for you. Thanks for reading!
