What I learned……

I learned that everyone sees life differently.

I learned that things are not as simple as black (blue) and white!

I learned that life comes in all shapes and sizes.

I learned that life is more fun when you smile.

I learned that everyone needs to be goofy every now and then!

I learned how important friends are.

I learned that life is like an Individual MedleySometimes things just Fly by…..

Other times, they fall Back

But if I stay on my Breast…..,

I end up FREE at the end.

I learned that when we put our heads together, great things are accomplished.

I learned that hard work pays off.2009 YMCA Short Course Nationals, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida

I learned that if you work hard, and give your best effort, we all are champions!

I learned that it is not easy at the top.

I learned to say, “THANK YOU” at the end of every practice because you never know when it will be your last time.

I learned to enjoy the things I can control and not worry about the things I can’t control. That’s all for now…..I’ve GONE FISHIN’…. Coach Betsy
