If you would have told me twenty years ago that I would be where I am today I would have probably laughed at you. Growing up I never wanted for nothing and I had everything a little girl like me could possibly want. My parents ran a lake and a small local bait shop. For sixteen years we ran this little lake and I had it all.

It had been 3 weeks since I return to the archery field. The early morning runs and practices do make me feel great. It has always been my dream to become an archer like my father. I was the toughest archer in Clementi Town Secondary School. It was not much of a challenge, competing with the neighbourhood school. There were only a few people who I acknowledge their skills.
