Noemi Baechi '14 Recruiting Profile

My future goals are to work very hard in swimming as well as academically. Lately I've done volunteering and have been to a forum of medicine to improve my leadership skills as well as learning about different fields of medicine. It was always my dream to become an orthodontist, since I was a child. In order to become and orthodontist a lot of time and work needs to be spent on books, therefore I decided to spend my free-time doing sports such as swimming and karate to get more leadership skills. I just joined the swim-team last school year, thus I think I have more chances to improve my swimming abilities, since I'm pretty new in this field. During that season, which was from August until November 2012, I earned an award as most improved athlete. I will keep putting effort into this sport, to show that I will keep improving. In karate, I learned several skills of self-defense as well as controlling my body. I just started karate here in America to do activities in my free-time, because I'm an active person. It was this February that I decided to join a karate club after Show-choir (which is dancing and singing) season was finished and we won gold at Orlando. In such a short time I've already done 5 belts and I'm planning to get my brown belt this winter. 

Sadly I had to start so many different kinds of sports, due to the fact that we just moved to the US. last year. I've been trying to participate in as many curricular activities as possible, since I love to be an active person.
