Personal Statement
In the future, I hope to gain a lot out of both academics, athletics, and from those around me. Throughout my education in secondary school, I have enjoyed learning and studying the sciences and I am looking forward to enriching this further in my post-secondary education. Although I am not definite on my area of study (most likely engineering or life sciences). I hope to find a place where I can truly enjoy learning my areas of interest while simultaneously continue to practice and train my swimming. I love to compete and train in swimming and I hope to find a university where I can continue to grow and progress towards my goals of competing at a senior national level. In my post-secondary education, I will continue to grow both physically and mentally not only in the classroom but also on the pool deck and I am really looking forward to a university that will help me experience this to its full potential.
