Personal Statement
While I am a successful swimmer, I am also a successful student. I managed high school classes in middle school with intense swim training and I am currently maintaining college level classes as a high schooler along with an even more rigorous training regiment. I attend practice 7 times a week (once a week there is a double) for two hours as well as two days a week at a strength and conditioning gym. Though these activities require much of my time, I have never allowed my grades to fall short of my expectations. This is my mindset for all things I wish to accomplish in my life--including my swimming.
I have been a part of multiple sports from a young age. When I was four, I tried my hand at dance. At age five, I began martial arts. Three years later, I achieved a black belt in tae kwon do at age eight. However, I always felt that something was missing. At nine years old, I joined the swim team at my local YMCA and I haven't stopped swimming since. There, I developed my love for the sport and, more importantly, my love of hard work. Since then I have been fortunate to qualify for state championships each year and, in 2015, I qualified for my first national level meet. I believe that through a personal choice to achieve greatness, nothing is unattainable. I believe that hard work is a necessary reagent of success and without it, the victories in life would be meaningless. I have verbally committed to Virginia Tech at this time.
