Personal Statement
Hello, My name is Lili Neisser. I have been swimming since the age of 9. I currently swim for Flatirons Athletic Club in Lafayette, CO. Swimming is something I love to do because it helps me grow physically, mentally, and as a leader. My goals are to become a supportive leader/mentor/role model towards others, both in the pool and out. Another goal of mine is to become a better all round swimmer so I can keep on improving and continue to be coachable. One of my swim goals is to make Jr. National times this season. I know I have the character and attributes to help me to become a great leader, teammate, and champion by making the others around me better!
I also enjoy helping the community by volunteering at various churches and organizations . Recently, I was inducted into the National Honor Society. Now I will be able to give even more back to my community including helping those less fortunate than me during Thanksgiving and other Holidays as well as by being a mentor for the younger swimmers on my swim team, especially my brother. I
Most recently, I have set up a fund, on behalf of my swim team, to help swimmers and their families who have been affected by the wildfires in Colorado. I have surpassed my initial goal in that quest and am humbled by the outpouring of support for my cause and these families.
Academically, I have been able to maintain a 4.0+ GPA and really enjoy learning. I strive to always do my best and to overcome any obstacles in my path. I persevere and always keep short term and long term goals in mind.
My college goals are to swim in a program where I can be an awesome team mate and and also be able to immerse myself into school culture to help better myself and everyone around me!
