Personal Statement
My name is Nathan Braun, I am 17 years old and entering my senior year at Sycamore High School in the fall of 2018. I was the captain of our high school varsity swim team last year which is a co-op team with DeKalb High School. I also swim on the local club team. I have always been athletic and participated in multiple sports, but at the age of ten I started competitive swimming and found that swimming is one of my passions. My short course yard times stand as the following: 100 fly 51.02, 100 free 47.93, 100 back 54.37. 200 fly 1:57.67, 200 free 1:44.86, 200 back 1:55.16, 500 free 4:52.72 and 1650 free 16:41.61.
School is important to me as well and I currently take advance classes. I have been doing research on my own in energy development and am looking to pursue a degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field in college. I aslo volunteer at my church every month setting up and running the sound system for the Sunday service. I enjoy hanging out with my friends and family and I currently am employed as a lifeguard and swim coach at the local YMCA. I'd like to thank you for taking the time to read this and hope you consider me as a potential asset to your program.
