6. BYU going to Cali!

This week the BYU swim team went to California for a swim meet (Nike Cup). It turned out to be a really fun. It also made me realize how much people notice our standards everywhere we go. At the beginning of the year everyone kept telling us athletes that we represent BYU wherever we go, we therefore represent the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. When we came to the meet, people could tell that we had different beliefs unlike other churches and colleges. We could all just tell by the atmosphere that people thought of us differently. Swimmers tend to have pretty bad language especially at intense meets like this. Many of the swimmers would look at us when we would just be nice to people and say good job to our competitors. At the end of the meet we had so many coaches come up to us and tell us how much they appreciate our humbleness and how we were good sports and how well we represented our university. I just thought it was really cool how as BYU we send out such a good message to everyone we come in contact with. I also think it was sweet how other people noticed our good example and how we care about our beliefs and how we know that we need to respect our University.
