2023 SpotlightPersonal Statement
I am a phenomenally hardworking individual when it comes to athletics and academics. My parents were both swimmers in college and I aspire to be a higher-level competitor than them in their events (100 and 200 Breast) and my own (1650 and 1000 Free, and 400 IM). I have a high and increasing GPA while being in several advanced and AP classes where I outperform many Seniors as a Junior in classes dominated by Seniors.
