Although I come from a small team, I'm extremely dedicated and hardworking. I am definitely a team player and enjoy rowing with my teammates and motivating each other to reach common goal of getting tougher and faster. I love this sport because it exemplifies perseverance and grit. I'm part of a lot of extracurricular activities (debate, entrepreneur club etc.) and take part in volunteering (tutoring etc.); however, I always manage to be organized and manage my time. I work extremely hard to keep my GPA high and push myself not only in rowing but also in school. For instance, taking challenging classes. I'm an optimistic person and I'm extremely excited to take part in college rowing!
