Personal Statement

I want to go to a college that will develop me fully as a person, and I want to use my successes as a rower to get there regardless of financial limitations or academic challenges. If a school that otherwise may not have admitted me accepts me because of my appeal as an athlete, then in addition to all the other benefits athletics have given me, it will have been more than worth all the hard work.

Though I had first been introduced to the sport of rowing when I was in seventh grade at local high school and college crew camps, I had played years of CYO championship basketball and AAU basketball and was hopeful for a position on my high school basketball team. I overcame the disappointment of not making that team and focused on rowing. My freshman season was effectively nullified by the COVID pandemic, though by the end of spring our coaches had created opportunities for the team to train together and condition. The pandemic created a solitary summer that was extremely difficult to remain motivated through, followed by an even more rigorous fall and winter team training regime. However my JV 8+ boat earned the bronze medal in the prestigious Stotesbury Cup in Philadelphia that spring, capping a year of challenges and hard work for all. 

Watching myself and my team improve and succeed against other programs was one of the greatest motivators and taught me how to appreciate the value of not just teamwork but the value of the comradery among the different boats on the same team that does not seem to exist in other sports. Though my V 8+ boat went on to nationals we were eliminated early, but I was ecstatic to see the V8 LtWt earn a silver – it was their win, but we all were extremely proud.
