Personal Statement
Athletics has a very important role in my life. It taught me discipline, hard work, failure, success, time management, leadership, and the value of sportsmanship. The balance of school work, early morning and after school practices, and working a part time job helped round me as a driven and goal oriented person in and out of the pool. Making state my freshman and sophomore year of high school made me an asset to my team by help taking a relay to state as well as making it individually in the 100 Breast. It helped my overall goal of wanting to make it to state all 4 of my high school years. Therefore, I want to take my assets and my goals to the collegiate level.
