Personal Statement
Ever since I first put on the cap and gripped the ball for the first time, I was in love with water polo. After spending my days swimming laps and throwing baseballs since I was 4, combining my two favorite sports and passions seemed like a match made in heaven. Through my long journey of learning and loving to play the game that's taken me from jumping in the pool at 5:30 in the morning to getting out of another pool at 9:00 that same night for the past 4 years, it's been everything I had hoped for and more. At first my motivation stemmed from trying to keep up with the better players on my team, but now I have the ambition to be not only the best on my team, but also to play and advance to the next level, wherever that may take me. I love the competition, friendships, rivalries, and camaraderie that water polo's given me and I hope to continue these experiences after high school.
