2021 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My goal for attending college is to get the education I need to be successful after college. I consider myself a good candidate to be on a college level team because I am hardworking, I listen, I act on things I'm told, and I always give my best effort. I am different than other athletes because I try to make sure everyone enjoys the meet or practice and benefits from their experience.
