Way back 13 years ago, when I started to learn how to swim. My parents decided to enroll me in a swimming lesson due to my asthma condition. As I learn how to swim my parents and I saw the improvements in my health. It lessens my asthma attacks. AS time goes by, I'm already enjoying to be in a pool everyday and enjoying every strokes, not just because of my health problem but because swimming became my passion.
As I entered second year high school, I'm invited to join swimming competition representing my school. And its my first time to compete and luckily, I got the Most Valuable Player(MVP) award in that competition. After winning the said award, I was motivated to train harder so that I may compete not just in the area of Marikina, but also to compete in regional. There, I met my coach who made me more stronger and made me swim faster than before. I also met new friends/Swim mates.
After training so hard twice a day (morning and afternoon session),going to gym to gain more endurance, I already gained the confidence to compete in such big events. I won more medals and an MVP award again for the second time. I don't even expect to have some medals and an MVP award because I know there's more good than me. But I;m proud of myself that I did a great swim. I also made my family happy and proud as well.
As I continue to train and swim, I got my best time of 31 seconds. My specialty is Breast stroke.
And before I enter college, I got my last MVP award and that is also my last competition. Having the fact that nursing is a full load course there's no more time for me to swim. And I truly miss it :(
I also thank GOD for giving me such talent as a swimmer. I'm lucky to have it :)
The only diffrence between me and a mermaid is that i have legs to do flip turns with...
that's the end of my swimming career :)
