Personal Statement
Although practicing is difficult, I always give it my all and am consistent in all I do, including practice. I never had a natural talent for swimming, but I do have the ability to learn and grow rapidly, which is useful for my swimming. I intend to improve significantly to receive a scholarship for the activity I enjoy the most, and in order to do this, I believe that an American university will give me the best chance to achieve my goal. I wish to compete in the Olympics if at all possible. But for now, I'm establishing realistic targets for the rest of the year to measure and anticipate my progress toward the ultimate goal. Swimming is an important component of my life, and I seek to achieve my goals in this wonderful sport.
