Water polo is not easy for me, but that does not stop me from loving it. I started playing water polo in 9th grade, and from the moment I threw the ball I knew I had to play the sport. One of the toughest skills for me in water polo is ironically also one of the simplest: releasing for the ball. Releasing for the ball basically just means getting open for someone else to pass to you, but whenever there is someone guarding me, I panic. One day at practice my coach’s patience was waning thin.

A friend of mine asked around if anyone would be interested in playing in the 2011 water polo season. I thought to myself about how everyone would always say “make the best out of your high school years”. “Why not?”. I had heard a lot about polo from inexperienced people. I heard it was a lot like volleyball. “Polo couldn't be that hard”. We had a while until…

Many stereotypes were first created during the Marco Polo’s travels to the East.
