Personal Statement
My goal is to be on the starting line up of a Division 1 wrestling team. I will work hard to qualify for the NCAA's. I have a strong work ethic. Before my freshman year in high school I made a goal to make the varsity team, which I did. My sophomore year, I made a goal to qualify for the State tournament, which I did. I also set a goal to qualify for the NJ State team to go to the Freestlye/Greco Nationals, which I did. My goal for junior year was to be on the podium at States, which I accomplished by placing 8th this year. This shows that I am very good at setting goals and sticking to them. I regularly go beyond what a coach asks from me. My coaches tell me that I am very coachable and they recognize my willingness to work hard. I am willing to ask for the help I need in class and on the mat. What sets me apart is that through serious motivation and hard work, I have shown tremendous growth and improvement each year in high school as I have steadily been closing the gap between those wrestlers that came into high school as Junior Champions and myself.
