Personal Statement
I am a hard-working student athlete that knows what is needed to get to the next level. When I see a challenge I never take the easy way out. I am highly invested in my work as a student and an athlete and I always look for new ways to learn. I take pride in my academic prowess, and I work hard for the grades I receive. I am an extremely determined person who does everything to the best of my ability. Whether it comes to making weight, or practicing, I always show up with a great competitive attitude. I am a very competitive person who will never give up in the face of adversity. I have had many successes athletically and academically because I am a truly diligent and determined person who is no stranger to rigorous academia and I have never been afraid to work hard. Being a student at a rigorous boarding school in the North East, I have become more self sufficient as a product of living on my own. I know what it takes to be a collegiate athlete and Hotchkiss has given me the tools to become a successful one. I have also learned what it means to be a good teammate, and to be a productive member of an academic community. As a result of my academic journey at Hotchkiss, and my athletic journey thus far, I believe I would be a great pick for admission at your university.
