Personal Statement
My name is Annelise van den Akker,
I wish my college experience to be one of growth both academically and athletically, and I am willing to work enthusiastically to achieve this goal. I intend to study hard to graduate with a degree in Environmental science to prepare myself for a purpose-driven career in this field. Athletically, I will implement my can-do attitude and my positive disposition to be an influential member of the Track and Field team. I believe in the power of setting and achieving goals, this in conjunction with dedication and opportunity, for me, is the key to success, in or out of the starting blocks. I intend to situate myself with a college that shares both my academic and athletic ambitions so that I may be a proud and accurate representation of what it means to attend that school.
