Personal Statement

It was the second triathlon I had ever competed in. I was 11 and trying to cross the bike course during the adult triathlon. I was told it was okay to cross and I was hit by a male competitor. After being checked out, I was told I was okay. A little sore and bruised, but okay. I did not let that slow me down and I went on to win my age group in that triathlon. It is because of swimming that I learned to be mentally tough, to push through those painful sets that make you feel like you want to die, and to never give up. 

I am a very competitive person and I believe that helps me to keep improving and doing better  I love the team atmosphere, even the silly fun stuff, and the motivation I also get from the other swimmers on the team. I am always looking for ways to improve and I want to be part of a program that I can make a contribution to  I work hard but having a little fun along the way is nice also! I am looking for a program that will challenge me athletically and academically and I believe that I will make a great addition to that program!
