I have been a competitive swimmer since I was 8 years old. Through that time and experience, I have always wanted to swim for as long as I am able. I have a natural talent for swimming that I inherited from my mom. I have gotten to a point in my high school career where I know I want to keep getting better and go on to that next level in college. This is why I would be a great candidate. From my experience, I have learned what it takes to be a step above the rest. I have learned discipline and how to work as hard as I can, 100% of the time. What sets me apart from other student athletes is my ability to always show up, no matter the circumstances. I always give it everything I have. I have received the Mental Attitude award for the past three years in high school and this past year I was team captain as a Junior. Academically, I accel as well. I have taken multiple college level classes and do well in them all. I am interested in pursuing a career in Civil Engineering. I look forward to learning and working hard to achieve my goals,
