    An accomplishment that i'm very proud of is the way how i grew out of boy and into a man. When i first got into high school i was sort of overwhelmed with trying to fit in.

    One of my most distinctive long-term goals that I had was to qualify for our varsity swim and dive team as well as to participate in the state meet as a freshman. Being a nationally accredited team, I understood that if I wanted to achieve my goal, I would have to devote a large amount of my time and effort into my practice schedule.

After school, I would head out to University of Louisville’s natatorium and spend the majority of the day conditioning, warming up dives I have acquired from past practices, and attempt dives that were foreign to me.…
