1. HOW I WAS NAMED MISS FEARLESS
AND RECEIVED MY VARSITY LETTER
By: Rebecca Rodgers

2.  From the beginning I
have always loved
the water. I went on
a lot of cruises and
swimming was
always the first thing I
did, which led to
gators.

3.  Ginny tried to get me to swim for a long time.
But I was too scared to try a competitive
league.

4.  Ginny tried to get me to swim for a long time. I
was too scared to try a competitive league…

5.  But my mom signed me up behind my back. I
was too scared and wasn’t very happy with
her.

6.  Oh well! In 5th grade I joined Gaylord Gators. I
loved the meets.

7.  But I hated practice. I wasn’t too fond of some
of the people either.

8.  I swam on gators for 2 years and then took a
break in 7th. But… I went back in 8th.

9.  In practice one day, Coach Barb came and
asked me to be on the GHS Girls Swim Team. I
told her I would think about it.

10.  I joined and was named Miss Fearless at our
swim banquet. I swam every event there is to
swim in one season.

11.  I swam the whole season doing my best,
hoping I would earn enough varsity points to
get my varsity letter. I did it!
