Personal Statement
Between my grandparents living on Lake Norman and my family owning a lake house on Smith Mountain Lake, you could say that I’ve grown up in and around the water. However, I didn’t start competitive swimming until I was six years old, when I was signed up for my neighborhood summer league team, the Lake Jeanette Lightning. I’d never had any formal training before, but it was evident from my first meet that I had a natural talent for swimming.
For all of my life, I’ve been a little shy and quiet. However, on the pool deck, all of that changes. On the pool deck I’m outgoing, bubbly, encouraging, and a strong leader. Through swimming, I’ve learned that I don’t have to be the shy and quiet girl I used to be. I am looking for a program that can provide me with the academic as well as athletic challenges that I need. I believe that I have the dedication, personality, and leadership skills to make a seamless transition into a college program while also beginning to impact the team as a whole. Through years of learning who I am and who I can be through swimming, I know that I have what it takes to enter a college program and be an immediate leader.

Events
- Camp/Event
- Wolfpack Elite Sprint Camp
- 12/16/17 to 12/17/17
- At this camp, we practiced many different sprint drills for all four strokes as well as underwater swimming and turns. From this experience with the NC State coaches, I feel as if I got a decent feel of a college atmosphere. While I was there, I didn't just learn about techniques in the water. I was also introduced to many different mindsets and perspectives on training and training at the collegiate level in general. I've implemented many of the things I learned at camp both in and out of the water now that I am back in my normal training atmosphere. From this camp, I gained many new ideas and perspectives on training as well as good tips for technique while sprinting.
