Piper loves learning new skills, enjoying time with friends and mostly she loves that her grandma and family come to watch her. She always wants to play her best and is learning that it takes time and practice to be great.
Piper’s Grandma, Sandi, is her biggest inspiration. Piper loves to make her proud and Grandma is a huge sports fan. My mom is not like a lot of Grandmas, she is not afraid to tell you what you could do better or how to improve. Piper loves to practice with and learn from Grandma. I can’t say frustrations aren’t present at times, but everyone still lives one another in the end.
The moment Piper has made me the proudest is when she offers to help teach her friends/teammates things that she has learned that they do not yet know. She is a much higher level swimmer than most of her classmates, but she loves to try to help them. Her compassion for others brings me great joy.
