Personal Statement
As I begin my college search to further my swimming and academic careers I have been reflecting on what aspects of my life have been important and instrumental. My swimming career has helped shape me into the student-athlete that I am today. I have realized that motivation, perseverance, and determination benefitted me in both athletics and academics.
I am a hard worker and demonstrate this in both the pool and classroom. I am drawn to others who share this work ethic and find I thrive when we challenge and motivate each other for success. I have been fortunate to have a supportive swim family where we encourage each other to achieve and celebrate each other’s successes. I look forward to entering college and having that same supportive environment. It is important for me to be around a group of people with similar goals and positive attitudes. I am a leader among my peers and others often look to me to help motivate and encourage them.
I like to take on new experiences and challenges. I am involved in several advanced classes and many clubs. Being involved in these clubs and athletics has allowed me to grow leadership skills that I can carry on in life. I am looking for a college where I can grow new relationships and make new memories. I like to feel connected to the community and look forward to continuing to do that in college. Although I am currently undecided on my college major, I look forward to attending a college that can provide a well-rounded education and advance my swimming career.
