Personal Statement
Before 8th grade, I played a lot of different sports, trying to see which one I would fit into best. As soon as I started swimming in the spring of 8th grade, I knew that it was the sport for me and I obsessed with swimming. Within two months of starting I joined the club team I am currently on and have progressively moved up the groups into the hardest group, senior elite, only a year later. I have continued to improve. Most of my competition is faster than me at the moment but I am improving at a much faster rate than other swimmers who have been swimming since they were young. I plan to continue improving as long as I am swimming.
When I start something, I finish it all the way through. This goes for academics as well as for athletics. I give everything I have every time, no matter the situation.
