2023 Highlights
Delmazio Despard ...Personal Statement
Academics have always been challenging for me. I have always had to work twice as hard as everyone else. But athletics was more straightforward for me. I could focus and put my all into it, and nothing, not even my learning disability, could stop me. In 6th grade, I was introduced to wrestling and couldn’t get enough of it. Winning the Eastern Connecticut Conference Championship as a freshman has been the highlight of my high school career so far. I learned that I can’t give up when I come up against a challenge; instead, I need to focus more and keep trying.
I am fortunate enough to be a part of a fantastic family that immigrated to the United States for a better life and supports me on and off the mat. I am a part of a great wrestling program; we call ourselves “La Familia” because we are family. Our team values teamwork, commitment, sacrifice, community, and leadership. I am looking for a program that will be a good fit for me athletically and academically. I have the talent to compete for a college team and the dedication, heart, and commitment to make an impact.
