Personal Statement
Swimming has been a part of my life since I was very young, starting with a local YMCA Swim Team when I was six and progressing to USA Swimming. My parents said that from the beginning, I was born to swim. Having parents who both were collegiate athletes, they consistently encouraged me to follow my passion. Swimming has been part of my identity ever since I could remember and I love to compete. My relay team has earned the opportunity to participated in the Ohio High School State Swimming Championships in both of my first two years of high school. While we have fallen short of our goal of being State Champions, the experience is priceless and we are motivated more than ever to improve.
I have been raised to value commitment to my goals, my team, and my family. I am driven to be better tomorrow than I am today. I believe the process is critical and that the journey is more important than the destination. Personally, my ultimate goal is to be a Collegiate Athlete and to maximize my potential. While my teammates and swimming are my passion, earning a college degree is essential to establishing the foundation for having a successful professional career.
Positivity, courage, and resolve are traits that I admire and try to mimic. I appreciate your time in learning a little about me. I know that I will be a valuable addition to your school and your swim team.
Thank you!
