Personal Statement
I will be going to college to study aeronautical engineering or education. I have been able to balance both my grades and the other aspects of my life even with the constant time that swimming takes up. Academically, I have excelled in anything that I have attempted. I accept nothing better than the best from myself. If that requires me to go beyond what I am expected to do, I will do whatever it takes without hesitation. My personality and characteristics help me with this. Loyalty has been stressed in my family, which has been bestowed upon me through my parents. In athletics, nothing has ever come naturally for me. I have worked harder than I could have possibly dreamed of in order to succeed in being a competitive swimmer. I will continue to work hard to succeed in college and beyond.
