Personal Statement
I want to excel in academics and rowing at the college level. I bring focus and determination to all of my activities. I enjoy the challenges presented by rowing - pushing through mental barriers on the erg and improving my technique and power on the water. I take the same approach to school and outside activities. I take the most challenging classes available to me, such as AP Chemistry, AP US History, AP Biology, AP Calculus, AP Spanish, AP Psychology, and Physics. I also lead charitable endeavors outside of the typical school offerings. Balancing rowing, academics and extracurricular activities requires hard work and good time management, but I am most satisfied when I take on new challenges and continue to improve my performance.
