Personal Statement
I have been swimming since I was about 10 years old. I think growing up on my club team allowed me first to learn things from the older swimmers, and to now become a leader and role model to them. Dealing with lots of things on my plate is normal for me and I can balance them all very well. I am a very motivated person and do everything in my power to reach my goals .
Not only am I motivated in my swimming but also regarding my academics. The student part of the term student-athlete is just as important to me if not more. My positive attitude within the classroom and pool is what keeps me going. I love spreading this attitude to others and eventually to the whole team or class. I am looking for a program where I can further pursue my passion for competitive swimming and also proceed on my path to a professional career.
