Personal Statement
Whether it's cheering my teammates on during their races, or looking up at the scoreboard and feeling that indescribable feeling of being pleased with a swim, or traveling to meets with my closest friends, some of my best memories come from my experiences during swimming. When searching for a college team, I want to be sure that I choose a team that I know I will continue making incredible memories with, both in and out of the water.
Although I want to choose a place where I will make fun memories, I also have a set of pretty high academic and athletic goals that I would like to achieve. I have aspirations to study and practice medicine one day, and it is very important that the school I choose can get me started on that track. In the pool, I hope to continue to improve my times and eventually swim in an NCAA championship meet. I know that these are hefty goals and balancing athletics with the rigorous academic path will be difficult, but I know that with the perfect school and network of people supporting me I will be able to achieve them!
