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
