Personal Statement
My dreams are to go to college and have a strong and steady career. My plan is to major in Biology with the goal for Veterinary school in the future. I am excited to experience collegiate sports, I can't wait to take this next step in my life. I am a 3rd year varsity diving team member for North Penn High School in Lansdale, PA. The club teams I dive for are the North Penn Aquatic Club (NPAC) in Lansdale, PA as well as the Hatfield Aquatic Center in Hatfield PA. To improve my diving skills and gain experience on the 3 meter, I am training with my JO team, the Imaginary Dive Club.
2015 with my high school team I placed 2nd in leagues, 5th in districts and qualified for states. With my JO team I competed in AAU Nationals and placed 11th on 1 meter and 12th on 3 meter. 2014 With my JO team I placed 4th at the 2014 USA Diving Summer Junior Region 1 Championship with a score of 362.90 ( 10 dive meet) and qualified for Zones in Buffalo NY. At Zones I qualified for Age Group Nationals in Knoxville TN, I will compete on 1 M on Friday August 1st. With my High School team I placed 2nd in the Suburban 1 League championship with a score of 422.75. I placed 4th at Districts (District 1 on 2/22/14) with a score of 441.10, and 6th at the PIAA State Championship at Bucknell University with a score of 420. My top score for an 11 dive meet is 441.10. and my top score for a 6 dive meet is 267.65, my top score for a 5 dive meet is 204.05. In 2013 I placed 2nd in the Suburban 1 League Championship, I placed 9th in District 1 meet and was a PA State Qualifier, also placing 2nd at the BucksMont Championship meet. On December 7 2013 I broke my clubs record for a 5 dive meet with a score of 204.05. I hope to improve on my record this coming season.

Currently, I am co-chair and co-founder of a project to benefit an elementary school in Philadelphia that had lost over $350,000.00 in funding. We have collected school, art supplies and sport equipment ,throughout my whole school, to donate to the elementary school. We call it the "Love Your Brother Project". At the time of this posting we have raised over $9,000.00 worth of supplies for the school.
Earlier this year I was inducted into my high schools National Honor Society. I am especially proud of this achievement.
