Assumption College freshman Carylyn Waite has taken a wild journey from her native China to Worcester, Massachussetts. Waite was born in China, where her parents left her as a baby at a train station. She was eventually found by police and taken to an orphanage, and in 1996 she was adopted by the Waite family and brought to the United States.
After showing an affinity for the water in China as a baby (she loved baths, in her words), she joined a swim team in New York when she was 7 years old, and ever since has been inseparable from it.
Watch about as Waite shares her story from China to college swimming.
