Donna Lam '15 Recruiting Profile

I have been swimming competitively for 5 years and every year I just love my sport that much more. I'm a hard worker that strives to succeed both academically and in swimming. Not only that, I love the competitive atmosphere of me pushing myself as hard as I can and knowing that other swimmers are improving as well. I will keep going after my goals no matter what circumstance prevails. My dream is to go to a divison 1 swimming college.

Beyond school, I want to compete internationally in competitions like the Olympics. To achieve this I will put 110% effort into the things that matter like eating properly a well balance diet, getting the proper amount of sleep, doing extra exercise beside swimming, and of course studying in and out of school. I love learning new things and using these skills to help others to where I can see their priceless smile at their own achievement.

My coach always says you got to have guts and not to be afraid. Also, he says pain is temporary, pride is forever. These statements are not easy to achieve but are true. But if it were easy everyone would do it. So shouldn't everyone try to do this then?
