Personal Statement
I've been swimming for nine years now, and I would never take any of it back. All the missed birthday parties, sleepovers, and school sports games may sound like something a 16-year-old may not want, but I would never trade it for where it has gotten me. Swimming has brought me to be the dedicated and hardworking individual I am. It brings you so many life lessons and not to mention a whole other family. In school I've always worked hard to be at the top of the class, especially while trying to balance it with the two hour nights of swim practice and meets that last all weekend. I will not lie that sometimes it is very hard to schedule my studying, homework, and swimming all in one day, but in the end I always do well and always turn things in on the intended due date. I hope that you will consider me as an addition to your team.
