Daniel Olivier '13 Recruiting Profile

There are three things that I have focused on for the past two years that I care about and could not lose. I focus on school, tennis, and my car and in that order. Without my academic career my life would be nothing. The knowledge that I have gained over the years is worth so much, and I am grateful that I was able to earn such an important key to success in life. My education is what will help me be known and make an impression on people that I meet. It will determine what I do, what I am capable of doing, and how well I am able to do whatever I choose as my profession. My education has formed my mind and has shaped me into the person that I am today. My education matters to me greatly because of the impact that it has had on my life, and all of the great results from the hard work that I have put into it. Tennis is second only because of the importance that my education has on my life, but tennis also has a great impact on my life. I have played close to six years now, and it has kept me in shape, focused, and has taught me how to persevere. I have met several unique coaches that I can rely on not only for tennis, but also for any problems that I have outside of tennis. One of my coaches told me that tennis would be more than just a sport in my life, and he has been one hundred percent correct. Tennis has helped me through hard with the many lessons that I have picked up over time. My car has been in my life for only a short period of time, but I care about it because it is the most expensive thing that has ever been mine. I feel a sense of ownership and pride to own a car, but to me it is not a car but a toy because of what it represents. The 2003 cobra svt mustang ended the war between the muscle cars, and to own a five hundred horsepower car makes me feel incredible.
