I have been involved in swimming for my entire life and it has taught me invaluable lessons such as perseverance, patience, and self-control. In addition to these personal skills, I have also formed close friendships with others who share my dedication to the sport. Through swimming, I have found the motivation and discipline to pursue my dream of becoming a software aerospace engineer, a career that I believe will allow me to make a positive difference in the world. I am confident that any college that accepts me will benefit greatly from my ambition, self-discipline, and shared goals with my peers.
