Personal Statement
My future is my priority. I am striving to find the best possible college to assist me with my swimming and academic goals.
I am a very self-disciplined and dedicated swimmer, in which I always give of my best. I accept victory gracefully, as well as defeat. I started swimming at the age of 4. Since then, I have excelled in a variety of swimming events and can say that I am very proud of where I am today.
Being able to take part in such an amazing life skill has enable me to participate in many other water events such as Lifesaving and Paddling.
I have been swimming in the SA Open Water Nationals for 4 years in a row now and I realize the values and characteristics one must have in order to progress to the next level.
I am different from all the other applicants as I am prepared to go the extra mile and better myself, no matter the circumstances.
My academics and swimming career play a role with each other. Swimming teaches me to be very active, self disciplined, dedicated and motivated. These are the exact values one must have so that he/she can do well in their studies.
The American colleges have stood out for me as many people know that they are the best in the world in both sport and academics. By being a part of the most excelled economy in the world, I will be able to reach my full potential both in and out of the pool.
