Personal Statement
From a young age, I have always been in sports and very athletic. Then around age 12, I tried out for my school swim team and I instantly fell in love with the sport. Through swimming, I have learned that commitment, dedication, teamwork, and being a leader play a huge role in the sport, and I succeed in these characteristics not only throughout swimming but also in school, and everyday life. When I was about 14 I joined an all year club and became more competitive with the sport and throughout my high school career, I've learned to balance grades and sports from having long weekends of traveling for meets and studying for the next day's test. I would be a strong choice for your team. And I am ready to succeed in my college academic and athletic career.
