Personal Statement
Hello,
My name is Austin Prosser. I'm currently a sophomore at Los Gatos High School. I started wrestling in 8th grade and truly enjoy the sport. What I like about it most, is that the sport teaches me how to lose. Winning is easy, but learning to lose is what helps you grow as a person.
During my Freshmen year, I had to endure two broken ankles (both during wrestling) and a back injury during my first year of high school wrestling. The experience was so difficult and hard for me to cope with. I did get through the experience and I certainly toughened up.
I have a passion for fitness and for the military. I am also an accomplished Crossfit and Olympic lifter. My hope is to attend an ROTC college and pursue a career in the military that will also allow me to wrestle. I've known since I was a little boy that I wanted to be in the military and do something important with my life.
This personal statement is a work in progress and I plan to continue to update it as I proceed through high school.
Thank you,
Austin Prosser
