I have swam on my high school team for the last three years, and I look forward to continuing my progression in the sport in my college career. The swim team has been the only activity that I have loved long term out of the five sports--both individually and on a team--I have tried; I have a passion for it, and I intend to implement swimming into every facet of my life for as long as I am physically able. I swim the 500 freestyle in eight minutes and thirty seconds--I want to cut that time in half by the time I graduate college. I am aware that my times are not particularly impressive; however, I have a drive and determination that will cut my times down exponentially. Along with my aspirations regarding the swim team, I understand that academics are critical to my future. I love English classes, and I am planning to narrow my focus on them while in college. I am a proud student-athlete looking for a way to continue both my academic and athletic pursuits, and I am exited to put in the work to open up doors for my future.
