An event that is significant in my life is APAC Swimming during my freshman school year (January 27-31 2010). This experience was both humbling and an enjoyable experience. It was particularly humbling because it was the very first time that I saw a swimmer swim as fast as they did. This also made it an exciting trip because I had the chance to compete against them in the pool.
I chose to make the commemoration three days because, although the trip was five days long, the actual swimming tournament was three days long. During this commemoration ceremony, I will recite the following haiku:
I will not lie down
No matter how fast they are
I will not give in
After reading this haiku I will swim each of my events that I swam at APAC at race pace. This means that I will sprint each one, or perform each race to the best of my abilities. This signifies each event that I swam at APAC that I raced against other competitors. While swimming these events, I will wear the same suit that I wore at APAC. I will also go swim at a 25-meter pool, the same type of pool that I swam in at APAC. As a commemorative food, I will eat a Powerbar, a typical swimmer’s snack and a snack that I ate at APAC.
