Triumph

My dear Arah, I enjoyed watching you grow from a small scared little kid from jumping in the water and even holding her head under the water to an advanced preschool swimmer who bobs her head many times in and out, floats all by herself for more than 10 seconds and can't get enough of water fun this past summer! Though staying in a 95 degree heated pool area in the middle of the summer and being 8 months pregnant with 2 heart beats wasn't exactly the most pleasant time of my summer, but I am glad that all of our efforts and hard work finally paid off.  Same with any thing else, practice, patience and persistence seems to  always be the key to success in any endeavor and goal in life. 

It looked like you only needed a little extra help and trust to believe that you can do it.  Remember those Saturday afternoons coming to open swim and practicing jumping on my hand?  You loved it so much at the end you didn't want to leave!  and your teacher was so impressed with your progress!

 Here are a couple of videos of your rather steep learning curve at age 3 in changing from beginner preschool to advance class in the middle of the session because you've just been too ahead for the former class.  You were hesitant on your first time in advance class but quickly gained the confidence and dove right in the next time, All by yourself!  Needless to say I was chocking up at that moment...We were all truly so proud of you!  
Remember, a woman will get only what she seeks.  Choose your goals carefully
know what you like and what you do not like,
be critical about what you can do well, and what you cannot do well, choose a career or lifestyle that interests you, and work hard to make it a success, 
but also have fun in what you do.  
Be honest with people and help them if you can, but don't depend on anyone to make life easy or happy for you.(only You can do that for yourself)
Be strong and decisive but remain sensitive.
Regard your family, and the idea of family as the basis for security, support and love.
Find happiness in everything you do. 
 Make a triumph of every aspect of your life!
