Personal Statement
I have been rowing for 3 years with Nereid Boat Club. I am the only student from Millburn High School who is on a rowing team. I have finished in the top 5 of all the races I have been in. I was put on the varsity team in only my second year at Nereid, out of 70 kids in the club. My erg scores constantly are in the top 10.
I have learned through rowing that the boat is only as fast as the slowest person in it. This insures the entire boat will work together in order to succeed. I am also a varsity debater in Public Forum. In this form of debate partners must work in sync, as a rowing team does. I consider this one of my strongest assets, cooperating with my teammates to achieve a single goal.
I see myself progressing in two areas 1) moving from a club team to being part of a college team 2) academically moving from a competitive high school to a competitive college. My goal is to keep pushing until I reach the finish line.
