Personal Statement
Hi, I'm Jean Graham, but everybody calls me Jeanie and I can't even remember the last time I wasn't swimming. I started swimming summer league in Maryland at the age of 6 and I enjoyed being in the pool so much I started swimming competitively at 8 and haven't stopped. Freestyle is my main and favorite stroke and I consider myself a sprinter. I absolutely love competing in relays. When I was 13, I qualified for the 2017 NASA Elite showcase in Clearwater, Florida. As a freshman in high school I also qualified for several events at states and placed 5th in the 100 freestyle at finals. I am very outgoing and many would say I'm funny, but aside my jokes I'm very focused and determined to create a promising future for myself and I don't settle for anything, I can always improve. I am dedicated and self motivated with almost everything I do, I set many goals for myself, big and small and I am ecstatic about competing at a collegiate level.
