When I first joined the rowing team I was going out of my comfort zone. I never expected to love it as much as I do now. It helped bring me out of my shell and pushed me to do better and try harder. I found friendship within the team and found that I enjoyed this sport! Now every time I see a body of water I just have the strongest urge to go row in it. 

My experience rowing is nothing but challenges, accomplishments, friendship and happy memories. These moments will stay with me as I grow. Rowing has taught me so much and is an outlet for me to improve and learn. Rowing has taken me from being withdrawn to being more sociable. I have become more adventurous and open. I have grown as a person and aim to be better. I am so thankful for everything rowing and the people I have met through it. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without it. I could go on for ever about how amazing and fun it is. I’m excited for the future of my rowing experiences. New people, new memories and new experiences to learn from.
