Andreas Paloumpis '13 Recruiting Profile

Personal Statement
My name is Andreas Athanasios Paloumpis, but go by the nickname Andy . My personal philosophy is self-growth and improvement. When I entered 9th grade I weighed 200lbs and was extremely immature. Today, after 3 years, I weigh 162lbs, and am a captain on my High School Swim Team. I have worked, and through work I have grown into a strong and dedicated person. Make no mistake, I don't consider myself remotely perfect. I still have much growing to do, time to drop, and skills to learn. I am currently enrolled at Hillsborough High School IB, where I am academically challenged everyday. After school I attend both high school practice (3:30-5) and my club practice (5:30-8:00). This means the extract amount of time I spend awake at night is around 8:30-10:30. In this time I do all my homework, stretch after practice, and do 200 crunches before going to bed. I believe that it is necessary to challenge yourself, thus allowing growth and change to succeed in the various endeavors which you pursue. I am interested in entering as a Political Science or Pre-law major, and then going to law school immediately after college. With a plan, I map out what I need to do and how to do it, managing my time so that I can correctly do all my work and not stress myself out.
