My experience with failure came with athletics. For my whole life I have always been involved in sports like soccer‚ tennis‚ basketball. When I was in the fourth grade I joined a swim team and that was the first and really only sport that I stuck with; swimming came naturally to me‚ and it was something that I could do year round and I loved every minute of it.

I learned‚ very young‚ how a community can pull together as individuals or groups in order to help resolve problems.
