Personal Statement

One goal I want to accomplish is to finish the last half of my high school career strongly, both in my academics and in sports. In addition, I want to do well in high school so that I have the opportunity to attend college, and hopefully swim there as well. I enjoy challenging myself to the best of my abilities, and I find that both schoolwork and swimming give me the chance to push myself outside my comfort zones. I want to pursue a career in Medicine in college, which will no doubt be a test of my work ethics, but I am willing to commit the time and energy to succeed.
