SMU alumna and Paralympic champion Yip Pin Xiu shared how sports gave her confidence and an opportunity to push herself. "I cannot imagine my life without sport," she said. "I was very un-confident and it brought out a completely different person. Sport gave me an opportunity to push myself. Outside the pool, people tell me I can't do certain things, but sport is different. In swimming, no one tells me that I can't hit a certain time. And sometimes I even surprise myself."
