My childhood was very happy. I was loved, protected, nurtured. I grew up attending church, but it was a Sunday thing, not a personal and intimate relationship with a loving and holy God.
When I was 13, I started swimming competitively. Thirteen is a very late age to begin competing, but I was a natural, and at 16, I was competing internationally. My goal was to make the Olympic team.
