Personal Statement
I am very much looking forward to my college experience. I have learned how to study and prepare for a difficult course load and am anxious to become part of a college and healthcare community. I haven't yet determined my exact field of study within the healthcare profession, but am leaning strongly towards Nursing or Rehabilitation and Occupational Therapy.
Besides my school work, I am an active volunteer as a Guest Ambassador at WakeMed Hospital in Raleigh. This activity brings me a lot of joy knowing that I can help others in times of trouble. My experience as a volunteer has strongly influenced my decision to pursue a career in the healthcare field. I am also active in my church at North Raleigh United Methodist and enjoy attending conferences and retreats with my youth group.
I am an extremely hard worker in the pool as well. I have overcome many adversities in my swimming career and feel that my best swimming is still ahead of me. I look forward to being a strong contributor on whichever college team selects me.
