When i take the next step in my life to go to college, i want to show the college and the swim team that i am a responsible and diligent person when it comes to both academics and athletics. When it comes to academics, I know that i must put that on the top of my list so i can have a successful future. I think i would be a good candidate for the team because i put everything i have in every practice so i can achieve the goals for me and my team. A good candidate would also act like a leader and respect and encourage your teammates to be better which i think i have. Something that i have that other recruits don't have is time management. Someone like me participates in other activities in school and outside of school instead of swimming and academics. Therefore it is very important to manage your time so you can diligently finish your schoolwork and have time to go participate in other activities in school and your athletic practice.
