Thank you for reading my personal statement! My name is Charlotte Walsh and I am confident that I would be a valuable contributor to your rowing program. I have 5 years’ rowing experience in a variety of capacities, including large/small boats, sweeping, sculling, bowing, stroking and toe steering, both port and starboard. I began the sport in 8th grade, and found a passion for rowing through my coaches and my team mates at CBC (Connecticut Boat Club). Rowing helped me to focus on the positive things in my life, despite Covid-19 isolation, such as my personal strength, and my ability to motivate other team members of all skills and sizes. Rowing is truly part of my DNA, and I am committed to continue in my college career.
