Personal Statement

As a water polo player my first priority is defense. I constantly ready myself to get back on defense and to help my teammates. Making varsity my Freshman year was quite hard because there were a total of 40+ guys joining the team and only 15 could play varsity. In the classroom I am enrolled in honors courses and plan to take AP classes. I focus on getting work turned in on time and providing quality work for my teachers. One of the biggest mottos I have adopted is "who says I can't. " this really describes my drive to push beyond what others think of me or my team and focus on our own success.
