Blake Childress '17 Recruiting Profile

Academics come first for me, but my diving is still very important.  I want to go to medical school to be a cardiologist.  Diving is one of my passions and the opportunity to dive on a college team has been my dream since I was in the 5th grade.  I am very hard working, and time management has never been an issue for me.  One of my other passions is help kids with special needs.  I am an officer of Best Buddies, which provides friendships, tutoring, and job opportunities for those who have intelligence and developmental disorders.  The experience this organization has given me has helped me with solving problems in my everyday life, along with understanding and helping others.  I believe I am naturally a leader, and will fit well with any team.
