Jaiden, Student Staffer at baltimore community rowing
"I got started rowing about 3 years ago after my mom signed me up for rowing camp without telling me. Initially, I thought I wouldn’t enjoy rowing, but I was pleasantly surprised. When I was about 6, my mother encouraged me to swim. Because of my grandmother’s fear of water, she was keen on making sure I was comfortable with the water. My proudest moment here has been this summer when I have been able to be more hands-on with teaching participants how to row. Every now and then I see 'a light ignite' as people learn to love the sport. If there was something I would change about the Middle Branch waterfront, it would be to have better maintenance and upgrades to some of the amenities on the pier."
