- 2021 Highlights
Personal Statement
Hello, my name is Emily Jackovic and I am currently 17 years old. I first started competing when I was 6 years old. I playee every sport under the sun from dance, soccer, gymnastics, basketball all the way to waterpolo, but nothing was like swimming. No matter what I always came back to it. I never realized how much swimming impacted my life until I broke my back and had to get surgery in 8th grade. From all the challenges I faced from relearning how to walk to going up stairs, swimming always put a smile on my face. It tools months to get back to where I was and all I wanted to be was in the pool. It was the longest recovery of my life. I dedicate my time to always improving and finding news way to better myself for the future.
On my free time, I love to workout and attend cycling class. I always walk into class with a hope of reaching a new goal I set each time I go. I am a big outdoors person. I love to go hiking and fishing. it Always the journey that’s makes it the fun part. Without challenges it would not be considered fun.
I hope to go to college in major in the medical field. My back surgery had a huge impact on my life. I want to give the best care to my patients as the doctors and nurses did for me when I was in a time of need.
