Personal Statement

My name is Edward Xu, a rising senior and an aspiring engineer, and I hope to run track in college. My life is incredibly busy and sometimes I get lost in the mix amidst my several AP classes, clarinet practices, kungfu training, volleyball practices, robotics club meetings, and of course, track practices. I’m busy, but I’m passionate. Everything I add to my brimming schedule is only what I love to do, and I’m proud of that. I see every group, club, and activity as a new opportunity to meet a new community and make new memories. Ultimately, it’s these lasting memories and friendships that hold sports so close to my heart; through the three sports I play, each and every one of them offers unique people with unique perspectives that make training with them so much better. This is why I hope to play sports in college. The passion that I have for sports yields the dedication and hard work that I exhibit every day, so I would perform well on any team with any group. Practices are my escape from homework, school, and life, and I hope to be able to play for your school one day to continue this lifestyle. Thank you for your consideration.

Training

  • Track & Field
  • 2 years
  • Performing as a top member of the team has been incredibly challenging as I have to simultaneously undergo sleep deprivation due to the numerous and rigorous AP courses I am taking, along with my other extracurricular activities such as my high school robotics team as well as kungfu. I would come back as late as 9 o'clock on some days, just to get started on my homework and not go to bed until well past midnight, then finish the rest on the bus ride to school. However, the time that I've sacrificed do not feel like sacrifices at all; I am simply doing what I love most and I wouldn't trade my life for anyone else's.
