Janet, 53, "Serendipity!"
The fact that Janet and I were able to meet was nothing short of serendipitous.
Odia, 38, "Life-changing day!"
To have a breakthrough in the water, you have to be in 100%.
Ifeanyi, 32, "Water intimidates me"
It's one of the last adjectives I would use when describing water: intimidating. But this is how Ifeanyi (Ife) felt about it and I was ready to change her perception.
Nhu, 20, "First time in a pool!"
I met Nhu three years ago in my ESL (English as a Second Language) classroom at Hoover High School. She had just moved to the U.S. with her family from Vietnam. Right away, we connected when we found out we shared the same birthday. Nhu's written English was incredible- her grammar was perfect :) But she didn't speak the language or understand me at all.
