I have a niece who is a swimmer for the Virginia Tech Hokies. This weekend marks the end of her college swimming career with her fourth and final ACC Championships. The Championships this year take place in Greensboro, NC as they did last year. Two years ago they were in Blacksburg VA and Atlanta the year before that. The ACC's are the one meet I get to attend each year and it is always fun to watch her swim. Regardless of the results this meet brings to an end more than a decade of hard work. Do you want to see a symbol of dedication than look for a collegiate swimmer. Can you imagine getting up early every day during your college days and getting in a pool and pushing yourself to be better. Oh yeah and when you are not in the pool your are in class or study hall. There is time for fun but you really have to make the time. There have been chapters in my life that I was thrilled ended and some that were sad. I'm sure it is a mixture for my niece but at least she will always be able to look back and see what she accomplished through her efforts.
