Personal Statement
My name is Bailey Ibarra. I am 16 years old and a junior at Cherokee High School. The 2016 – 2017 swim season has just started. This year I am swimming at the senior level with Stingrays Swimming. I am still loving all the extra time I am getting in the pool. Over this pass summer, I placed 8th in the state of Georgia in the 50 backstroke for GRPA. I am motivated to keep dropping time and my goal is to qualify for the Georgia High School State Meet in the 100 backstroke.
I would like to swim at a College or University in or close to Georgia as this is where my whole family is located but I am open to other locations, if the fit is right. I am currently maintaining a 3.75 GPA. I plan to take the SAT and/or the ACT tests in my junior year. I am leaning towards a major in either athletic training or teaching so that I can coach. I don’t have to attend a division I school; I am more interested in a competitive swim team and being able to pursue my major choices.
I am a hard worker and dedicated to making excellent grades and swimming hard. I am willing to give my all to succeed in school and sports. You would not be disappointed to have me on your team.
