My favorite aspect of rowing is… My favorite aspect is being out in the boat with my teammates. Although it is hard work, it is always fun being out there, especially with an encouraging team supporting one another. There is nobody better to push me harder and farther than my teammates, and that is how one overcomes weakness.
What made you want to become a rower… I have always enjoyed being a part of a team in high school and wanted to be apart of an official collegiate team. I just never thought I would have the opportunity to do so. However, a few of the rowers talked to me at orientation and intrigued me. So, after talking with them, I realized it was an opportunity I could not pass up. It gave me inspiration to try something new that I could possibly succeed in.
