For the past three summers, I have had the privilege of coaching for our local swim team, the Landen Stingrays. Throughout the years, I have instructed children ages four through twelve, of all different abilities. I have had the opportunity not only to teach them swim skills, but also to act as a mentor for them, and build relationships with them. This experience has been so valuable and special to me, as I have learned patience, perseverance, and creative problem-solving strategies through it. My positive involvement with this team made me realize how much I enjoy working with children, especially young kids, and has consequently motivated my career aspiration of becoming a school psychologist. I plan to continue coaching in the future, as well as broaden my horizons to other opportunities that involve impacting children in a positive way.
