Personal Statement
My name is Taylor Jackson. I am a diver located in Westminster Colorado. I am currently a Junior at Mountain Range High School. I am very interested in attending college and becoming a writer. I graduate in 2017.
If you are interested in me the best thing to do is email me and tell me about you and your school. I respond to all contacts. I am interested in all levels of schools from DI to DIII. The level of competition is not nearly as important as what I will gain from attending a quality school. The more contact I have with you the better because it shows the level of enthusiasm in having me compete for your school. I prefer to be emailed at [email protected]
I have been diving 5 years coming from gymnastics and swimming. I hold both school records with a 6 dive record of 274.55 which is also the District record and an 11 dive record of 480.75. I went to State both my Freshman and Sophomore years and placed in the Top 10 both times. This year I took off high school to focus on USA Diving. I am with Kevin Sage and Sagebrush Diving. The high school practice and club practice coincided so I had to choose one.
I have been to a combined 7 Nationals in USA Diving and AAU as well as many Regionals and Zones. I just completed Region 9 and have qualified for Zones on both 1 and 3 meter in SLC Utah July 7-10. I placed 7th at Zone E Senior Women's 1M only 13 points from Nationals.
I am interested in English and Creative Writing for school and I am a 3.5 student but working on improving that score. Math is my weakness but I am working at improving that with tutoring. I am a very hard worker and studier. It doesn't always come easy but I work hard regardless. I believe this builds character. If I don't know...I am not afraid to ask for help.
I am a good team player and love helping others.
