Letter From Heart To Sister Remember when no one wanted this girl on the team, we all thought she was annoying. Do you think she didn't know or feel anything because she didn't have many friends? When she came no one wanted to show her anything, time passed and we, or at least us learned to love her and we realized that #life is funnier when she is around, she could have decided to stop swimming, to be bulimic, to go into #depression and who knows what runs in that crazy mind of hers. That crazy mind is what makes her unique, funny and awkward. That's what people like, a person that's abnormal, that surprises, with silliness to make them laugh and not stay in a bored world. Maybe you feel like a joke, but the truth is you aren't , you're the one telling us the joke, and some of us laugh and some of us get jealous of your crazy unique, inspiring, surprisingly, lovely, funny thoughts. That's what makes you special, in a good way. That's you, don't let any body take that from you. I love you, don't go bulimic, imagine how bad that would hurt me, mom, dad, your friends and society.......you know better, be who you are, don't care what haters say, they know nothing. You're different, no one is the same, be happy, thankful for this amazing #life of yours. Focus on positive things and smile to the world. I love you sister!

Don't Wake Me Up I was back, with AAC. (Arlington's Aquatic Club)I was so exited to go inside those doors, opening them was dangerous, without knowing what my swimming coach was about to say or he will probably use his typical face expression, which was non. Last time we talked, it was my last day on his pool and my birthday. Oh but he seemed so disappointed, I was his best swimmer and about to live him. Oh how he loved me and having me on the team, he said he wanted to adopt me, so I could stay with him, I cried and hugged him for 20 seconds wanting them to last longer or never end. I wasn't angry about leaving my school in Virginia but my swimming team, meant everything to me, it was my whole #life, my family and the best team I've ever been to. Our team was fine,but the coaches were outstanding. Their experience impacted my performance and critical thinking, by never quitting and staying strong all he way through. The way they talked, explained things and with different technique every day, made you fell full, with new training schedules, you could never get tired because each day was different than the previous one. Now it has been 2 years since I left AAC. Ohh wait I just remember now why I felt so sad on my past birthdays. Cause I left part of my spirit on that team and part of me died that day. But each and every day I gain happiness, it completes my soul knowing that I once was that middle school girl, who trained hard with high school teenagers, at the end with hard work became better than all the girls and some boys. A friend told me, that all the boys were so impressed and proud of my attitude that I motivated them to train with more effort.. I will never forget AAC

Acceptation It's so motivating when it goes right, but there are times that it can go wrong. You just need to find your moment and be true to yourself and accept your mistake, let it go and move on. Don't get stuck in it, you'll feel worse. Champions were not always on top, it's what keeps you fighting and wanting to get better that will keep you on top, this will make you appreciate every single moment of your #life, it will build you strong, as a person who can grow and expand his or her knowledge. But enjoy your wins and learn to manage your bad moments.
