My personal role model

As a younger sibling, I have always “idolized” my older brother. Not only has he excelled in the sport of soccer, playing around the world, but also in rowing. His determination and strive for success are inspiring to me as a young athlete. His athletic journey is evidence that sizeable goals can be accomplished.
