Personal Statement
Hello, coaches and recruiters!
My name is Samantha, and I am currently in my sophomore year at Xaverian High School. I have been swimming competitively since I was seven years old. I have partaken in different sports, like basketball, but neither clicked for me like swimming did. I absolutely love swimming - the speed and feel of the water just enthrall me. I would definitely consider myself a very hard worker. I am blessed with athleticism and smarts, but I do not stop there - I will work until the very end to improve myself in both departments. Over the past few years especially, I have seen considerable improvements in both my academic and athletic career that I am very proud of. I hope that under your guidance and expertise, I can harness my natural abilities and my astonishing work ethic to break records and accomplish the unthinkable.
