Melanie Bower '23 Recruiting Profile

As a future collegiate rower, my goal is to eventually reach a 2k of sub 7:35 by the end of Spring Season 2023. I aspire to be recruited and potentially get an athletic scholarship for rowing. I am a great candidate for any competitive rowing team because I am an extremely driven and hard-working individual, who will do what it takes to reach my goals and follow my dreams. Academic-wise, I am also overly inclined to study and research a lot. I am currently taking college classes at a community college in my area, as well as honors courses, and next year I plan on taking more AP courses. I am always looking to broaden my horizon, both in rowing and academically too. My favorite subjects in school would include Government and Physics. I plan on studying Criminal Justice or a form of Political Science in college.  I have strong aspirations of serving as an Officer in the Coast Guard branch, and potentially the FBI as well. I love learning new things, and I always try to keep an open mind and have plenty of perseverance.
