When I was 9 years old I told my Dad I wanted to go to the Olympics and win Gold. He told me it would be a rough road ahead, he explained how difficult it was just to make the Olympic Team let alone win a medal, but he believed in me.
Both my parents believed in me, and so did my little sister, they never made me doubt myself. They put everything into my dream, from waking up at 4:30am for training to flipping burgers just to send me to competitions. They did everything they could to help me realize something that was near impossible, so I too did everything I needed to do to make it happen.
I surrounded myself with positive people who believed in me and shared the same vision as me. I had Coach Charles Mathieson in Zimbabwe then Coach Kim Brackin in the US, I had less than a handful of friends in Zimbabwe (Jussy, Christo and Lauren) then had a swim team of friends at Auburn University. I missed out on so many 'fun nights out' and birthday parties, I missed friends weddings, I missed coming home and spending time with family, but these were just a few of the sacrifices I had to make to keep me on my path to becoming Olympic Champion.
14 years ago today, I made my dream come true.
