“When did you persevere through a difficult situation?” “I joined the swim team last year and at the third practice I had a really bad asthma attack and i couldn’t breathe, and that led to a pretty serious panic attack. The problem was that I was in the pool, like lowkey drowning, which is kinda a problem. My sister wa there and she helped pull me out and for like a good hour and a half I was like hyperventilating really badly, and I couldn’t feel my hands or my legs. The lifeguard came over and she was like “what’s going on?” and I was like “oh, can’t breathe, can’t move” and she talked to my sister and my sister kept telling her not to call 911, but they did and the ambulance came and my sister and one of her friends came over and helped my get in the car and took me to the hospital. I was in the hospital for like five hours because they couldn’t get me to calm down and my heart was going not in a good place. The couple days after that, it was pretty difficult for me because I was trying to get back into school and dealing with general anxiety, but I had a group of really good people that helped me push through it. The big thing is, I learned how to ask for help.”
