“Who you are will show in what you do” People have a hard time describing themselves because they haven’t found themselves or the world doesn’t portray them as good enough for them. So we adjust ourselves into something were not trying to fit in. But I’m not like everyone else because instead of having the world change me, I will change the world. I consider myself a complex person because I am compassionate, enjoy assisting others and love swimming.
October 31, 2015, was not like any other Hallowing there wasn’t any tricks, just treats. I went on a mission’s trip that changed my life. My dad and I went on a two week missionary journey to China.

But I didn’t see how they could be so joyful living in the horrendous conditions. Homes built from sticks, clothes with holes in them that stink up the room, and the aroma of cigarettes filling up the room. This was an eye opener that made me realize to appreciative what God has recue me from because if the Lord had not sent a family from America, I could be living in these environments. At first I didn’t see any positives going to China because of all the bad things that happen to me: missing two weeks of school during junior year (the hardest year of high school), I had flights issues that caused me to stay in Detroit for the night alone, and ate food that instigated unwanted stomach problems. These were all part of the devils strategy to make me blunder the point of the trip, but that plan didn’t work because Jesus had better notions.

Swimming is a hardcore obligation to make and I wonder all the time if this is worth it? Waking up at 4am really takes away valuable sleep and studying time for school. Time management is a key because you have to plan for a good amount of sleep while working with getting your school work done in an efficient time manner. The sport takes away any free time outside of the pool, such as going to the movies, amusement parks, or just anything other than swimming because you have morning practice and then afternoon workouts. Working was also tough because you had to work around your swimming schedule, but lucky for I worked as a lifeguard for YMCA that was willing to construct a plan that fits my conflicts. Swimming and working wasn’t very fun though because after morning practice I would go straight to my job, then after guarding all day in the heat I would go back to a hard afternoon training in the sun. There were days where my sunburn limited my body movement or a dehydration caused massive headaches, and me want to quit swimming. I thought to myself that if I didn’t keep fighting when a little sun made life was hard, how I would pull through for my family in actual challenging times. However swimming brought me peace, joy, my best friends, and these will always be outweigh the hurdles. Whenever I’m feeling stressed or angry, swim has always helped me relieve those
