Becoming the team captain of my high school's swim team was a feat most thought was impossible for me. As a junior in high school with quite a few seniors in front of me, this was unheard of especially with the large pool of juniors that also swam with me. I knew that if I wanted to become captain I had to rally the team better than anyone else and using my great memories from sophomore year of the strong leadership of our previous captains I was able to do this. I showed no fear in the opposing teams ahead of us and never showed any signs of weakness or defeat in practice as I cheered on the rest of the team. Finally, I achieved my goal and became captain and continued on my good work ethic to ensure the same spot next year.
