- Winter 2011
Personal Statement
I am a 6'5" swimmer from Johnson Central High School. I will graduate in 2012. I currently have a 4.0 gpa and participate in swimming, soccer, tennis, and basketball. My specialities in swimming are 100 backstroke, 200 IM, 50 free, and 100 free. I have been swimming competitively since I was 6 years old. My life long dream is to swim in college. I would be interested in any college in the southern and eastern part of the US. I would be most interested in attending a college in Kentucky or in the states bordering Kentucky. I am open to exploring colleges of all sizes although I think that a smaller school would be a better fit for me. Ideally I would like to belong to a swim program where I would make a big contribution early in my career. I also hope to be able to receive financial scholarships for athletics as well as academics. I would be willing to travel farther to a school with less out of pocket expense. I am interested in pursuing an education in the field of health and physical education and coaching. I have been an athlete all my life and would love to continue that in college and work someway in that area as a career.
