Personal Statement
Since I was 3 years old, skating and playing hockey have been my main sources of comfort as well as my main sources of entertainment. My first vivid memories are of my dad guiding me along the boards of my home rink in Hyde Park attempting to teach me how to skate. Since those early days, hockey has always been, outside of school, my top priority. Playing hockey for so many years has given me a greater appreciation for hard work and its results. In hockey, what you put in is what you get out, as is true in most sports. This prioritization of hard work has always translated for me into the the classroom as well, and I strive to challenge myself academically similarly to the way I challenge myself on the ice. My diligence has always been evident in both my athletic and academic achievements, and I hope to represent a school that is held to a high standard both athletically and academically.
