In this latest student voice video, Cathedral student Emma Hornby shares her passion for swimming. In the pool Emma is able to clear her mind of issues happening in her life and focus on the simple things … like the sound of her body propelling through the water under her own steam.

Swimming not only makes Emma feel good about herself physically and mentally, but has enabled her to realize the joys of being part of a team. From the care and commitment of her coaches and the chance to work with others in pursuit of a shared goal, to meeting other students who are not part of her regular circle, to just plain having fun, Emma’s school life has been enriched by her extracurricular experience.

Emma’s activity of choice is swimming, but her message applies to any school sport or club.

The point is for each student to find his or her own passion in life.

Participate. Get in the swim of things.
