Tristan Shao '25 Recruiting Profile

My goals for college is to really put my self out there and try new things, I would love to go to dental school because my dream job is to be an orthodontist. In terms of swimming I would want to consider at competing at the college level. I have definitely become a more disciplined athlete as to going to practice and showing up on time. The feeling that you get at a meet when you drop time is incomparable because you worked so hard for that event and put countless hours into the making. Being a good teammate and supporting others also made me more of a leader instead of a follower like I once was. In terms of academics I wasn’t really strong my first two years of high school, to be fully honest I slacked off a lot, but now is not the time for silly games. As I start Junior year I try to become the best me that I can, studying more, putting in work for standardized tests, and not messing around at all. Great start to the year though and will keep trying my very best to give it my all.
