Personal Statement
In college, I aspire to study civil engineering and extend my horizons in swimming. I desire to put my mind out of the box as I am forced to come up with answers to different problems. I believe swimming is critical when trying to earn such skills. Swimming greatly helps develop concentration, discipline, resilience, self-confidence, and time management. In the time that I have been swimming, I have been able to grow more with issues concerning time management, resilience, and concentration. I am a good candidate for your team because of these small but vital skills I have built up. I can keep time and be able to always show up ready for training sessions on time. I can persevere throughout the many different challenging training schedules and push myself to my limits at all times. I believe these aspects not only make me a good candidate for the team but also help me stand out among the crowd and differentiate me from other possible recruits. In terms of academics, I believe my grades greatly stand out as I continue to progress through my different education levels. In academics, I can maintain a top 30 percentile of the class throughout all tests. Although my athletic ability needs more improvement, I believe that with continuous training and perseverance, I will be able to reach much greater heights.
