My Experience Avoiding Meat

Growing up, I mostly ate a vegetarian diet, since my family was mostly vegetarian. But I still ate meat and dairy products on occasion. Then I saw a documentary on Netflix called “Food, Inc.” (It is not on Netflix anymore, but you can watch it on YouTube for free - linked below.)

The Gluten Free Lifestyle

I believe avoiding certain foods is hard for a lot of people, especially if it’s connected to a specific memory. When I was little, I loved my grandma’s macaroni and cheese and sweet potato casserole. Oh, and don’t get me started on her home-made biscuits and gravy!

Fast Food Swaps

I am a huge fan of eating fast-food, specifically Wendy’s and Chick-Fil-A. The reason I like these two fast food places is because of Chick-Fil-A’s chicken sandwich and Wendy’s baconator burger -- due to me being a big burger fan. I also enjoy the waffle fries and chicken nuggets from Chick-Fil-A, too.

Swimming Can Change Your Life for the Better

Ever since I was little, I have loved the water. It always calmed me to be near it. When I would go to the swimming pool with my friends in elementary school, we’d pretend to be mermaids. As I got older I still loved swimming, but I didn’t compete until five years ago when I first signed up to be an athlete with Special Olympics Virginia (SOVA). Since then, I have been a swimmer in three Summer Games competitions and have won nine medals. Though I try to learn new sports too, swimming will always be my go-to sport.
