"Swim upstream" có upstream là ngược dòng -> từ này nghĩa là đi ngược lại, hành động trái với quan điểm chung; lội ngược dòng.

Environmentalists are also hailing (kêu gọi) this latest victory for river-renewal, based on the Electric Consumers Protection Act of 1986. The law ordered operators of most federal dams (con đập) to provide passages for fish so they could swim upstream to spawn (đẻ trứng).
The animal that best encapsulates (tóm tắt) my character would be the salmon (cá hồi). Like the salmon, I have spent most of my life swimming upstream against the current (dòng chảy). Early in life, I swam upstream purely for survival like the salmon. Today, I swim upstream in part for survival, but mostly to create my own path for others to follow, at their own risk of course.
When I graduated (tốt nghiệp) high school, I started a law degree. Two years in, I realised it wasn’t for me. Engineering stuck out to me after that because I have a lot of engineers in my family. It’s who we are and what we enjoy. I guess I tried to swim upstream and failed.
