I want to attend college where I can grow academically and athletically. I want to major in engineering and hope to contribute to my college community in a meaningful way. While doing this, I would like to continue my career in rowing as I enjoy the camaraderie of my teammates and being part of something larger than myself. I am a good candidate because I am strong, tall, and determined. I love bringing positive energy to my team and boosting morale. I am different from other recruits because I understand hardship and have the grit to push through difficult times. I enjoy hard work, which motivates my fellow teammates. As I mature academically, my grades reflect this and I am striving to continually improve.
