<p>Prompt: "In the space provided below, please elaborate on one of your activities"</p>
<p>Stepping up onto the diving block, I stared at the glimmering water. I knew that by the end of practice, my body would be exhausted beyond recognition. However, I also knew that in the end, the rewards of swimming would outweigh the cost. It takes perseverance to swim lap after lap, stopping shortly to relieve the screaming of one's muscles. It takes dedication to pull one's self together every morning to even dive into the frosty water. It takes discipline to know the difference between fully finishing a set of laps and "finishing early". But most importantly is that these principles don't just apply to swimming. Whether it be swimming a lap, repairing a patient's kidney, or solving a calculus problem, discipline, dedication and perseverance always play a role. Swimming may just be a sport, but anything that can teach one lessons in the game of life should be cherished.</p>
<p>Help anyone??</p>
