Personal Statement
I have been swimming since I was 6, for the last five years of my life the pool has been my second home. Most days I spend more time at the pool than in my house. Swimming has taught me that there are ups and downs in life, it has taught me how to overcome the hard times. Swimming has taught me the importance of balancing school work, athletics and my social life. Many times people say that you can only choose two of those, but I know that with determination and commitment anything is possible.
