Personal Statement
Although I definitely want to swim in college, my primary goal is finding the college that can give me the best education in my preferred field of study, which at this point is history, political science. and perhaps economics. I understand that these fields can be difficult for job-finding, which makes a strong education and degree absolutely necessary. I think I have an excellent combination of character, athletics, and academics that would make me a strong choice for any team. Athletically, I continue to improve my times and personal records, mainly the result of a good work ethic in the pool and the willingness to listen and be coachable. Hard work also plays a large role in my academic career, where a 4.1 GPA and a current score of 33 on the ACT proves my ability to excel both in and out of the pool. I want to work and improve myself, which one way or another, is always my main goal. I am willing to lead and also to follow. My intention is to find a school that challenges me in all aspects of my life to help me grow as an athlete, a student, and as a person.
