Personal Statement
In my college career I want to push myself to the absolute limits of my athletic ability, and in doing so help support a team ready to work hard to earn success.
I believe I am a good candidate for your team because I approach running from a different angle than do most runners. I run simply because I absolutely love it! The feeling of pushing yourself as far as you can go and farther is what I live and run for, and I believe that will enable me to continuously improve and contribute the most to your team.
My accomplishments off the track also show that I am prepared to uphold the standards of leadership and responsibility a college career requires. I am a lifeguard and swim instructor for the City of Carlsbad, a job which makes the lives of patrons my responsibility on a daily basis. I also work hard in the classroom to maintain the highest GPA possible, and plan to continue that high level of achievement throughout college.
