One thing I would change ..


When I was four years old , I joined my towns local swim team. It was the best thing I had ever done , it made me feel alive and so happy, but it was very expensive. Then , when I was 9 my parents got divorced, so I unfortunately had to quit swim because it was to hard to keep paying for it.  I would do anything to go back in time and change the way my life happened. If my parents did not get a divorce , I may never have had to stop swimming. I always think  I could have done something to keep them together. They say they split up because 'the spark just was not there anymore', but I can not help but feel like it was my fault. If they had stayed together , I never would have stopped swimming and we would be the perfect family. I would be able to see my dad everyday instead of just twice a week, I would see my whole family at holiday parties , instead of having two Christmas's. That is what I hate most, I do not have a complete family. If I could , I would go back and try to keep my mom and dad together.
