Walking past the magazine stand, a specific one pops out to me. On the cover is a beautiful blonde girl dressed in workout clothes and a sports bra. With one knee bent, her body is leaned forward, her chest up, butt out, showing the curves of her body. Instantly, I stopped to take a closer look, and asked myself, “Who is that gorgeous girl”?

Swimming, friends and family all helped me up through hard times in my 8th grade life. My friends helped make my life…
