Personal Statement
I was fortunate to be a part of an extremely supportive and helpful high school club team. Due to my commitment to the sport and hard work, I was elevated to varsity after only one season of novice. The experience pushed me to ever greater levels of achievement. The opportunity to expend greater effort over a short period of time allowed me to be a part of boats that won many regattas and received numerous medals over the short year that I have been rowing. This year, I placed 3rd in the Semi-finals at the Royal Canadian Henley in the men’s u19 pair event - an accomplishment that helped me grow even more as a student athlete. I learned to focus less on beating the boat next to me and more on improving myself and my boat as a whole. This realization made me turn my focus to the goal of rowing at the collegiate level.
From rowing, I have learned the value of loyalty, teamwork, commitment, and leadership. I am looking for a college that will fit me both athletically and academically. My goals are to join a collegiate rowing team that will continue to develop my skills and push me to achieve and attain my highest potential as an individual and as a teammate. I am looking to be part of a rowing program that will allow me to hone the grit, work-ethic, and character to be a leader at the collegiate level!
