Personal Statement
I have basically been swimming since I was born. My mom instilled at a very young age the love of water in me. Through swimming, I have learned that nothing is to hard. I started swimming competitively when I was 9 years old. I have been hooked since day one, and have focused to constantly work harder to push myself to my full potential. Not only am I a swimmer, I am also a dedicated student, and I am a faithful christian. I serve on several different committees for my church, and I help plan several youth events for the youth of my churches conference. I am also involved in several different organizations with my school. I have dreamed to continue my swimming career in college for a very long time. I will continue to push myself, so that I can reach my goals and my potential. Swimming has taught me to look at challenges differently, and it has given me a different outlook in life. I hope that I can continue to swim in college, so I can push myself to keep challenging myself in many different ways.
