Comments from swimmers of the EG Piranhas’ Academic All-Americans 2008

by Igor, “… I always try my best and hardest. It usually pays off. I set several goals each trimester. Through every practice and hard work, my grades have improved. After joining EG Piranhas, I made a new discovery: swimming is really fun. I hope to finish this season above my expectations. One wise person said that there is no limit for perfection. Excellence and perfection is my everyday goal because it helps me grow and enjoy all my accomplishments. …”

by Jessica, “… I believe excellence comes from trying hard, which is what I do in the pool and in school. …”

by Emily, “… It takes listening, practicing, and coming in on time, all of the time. It takes perseverance, hard work, and dedication to succeed. Dedication and determination comes from within. …”

by Andrew, “… I believe I can achieve anything when I put my whole heart into my work. From Jim Collins, ‘Greatness is not a function of circumstance. Greatness, it turns out, is barely a matter of conscious choice, and discipline. …’”

by Natalie, “… One thing swimming and school have in common: practice, practice, practice. The reason to practice is to get better at it. Another commonality, is being a good example. In swimming, we call it good sportsmanship; and in school, we call it the Golden Rule- treat others how you want to be treated. One last commonality is the leaders. In swimming we have coaches, and in school we have teachers. They both help you read goals and are there whenever you need them. …”

by Anonymous, “… Excellence in the school is just as important as excellence in the pool. In the pool, you push yourself to do better every day and you should do the same in school. It’s important to be successful. You need to push yourself to do the best you can. You will be successful. When you persevere through every practice and every meet, it pays off in the end when you reach your goals.”
