Personal Statement
My collegiate goals include getting a degree in Biomedical Engineering and being part of a competitive and fun field hockey team. I consider myself a good candidate for your team because I am an encouraging and competitive teammate; striving to motivate my teammates at all time and pushing both them and myself to our limits.
I take my academics very seriously as well and I strive to get the best grades possible, never sacrificing my education or grades at the expense of athletics or other organized activities. I challenge myself in my courses, yet am willing to seek assistance when needed
I differ from other candidates because of my optimism throughout discouraging moments and determination to constantly do better. I take athleticism seriously both on and off the field. I am currently training for my first half marathon in September and I do CrossFit 4-5 times a week.
Outside of school I hold a part time job at a local small business and volunteer with fundraisers held in my community, to include raising over $5000 for a local charity that builds homes for disabled veterans.
It is for these reasons that I feel I would make a great addition to your program.
