1/29/23 Hawks Pre...Personal Statement
I have been competitively swimming with Rivertown Aquatics since I was 6 years old. In 2019, at age 13, I was faced with the decision to stop swimming competitively or undergo surgery for a left clavicle fracture, requiring a titanium plate and 7 screws to repair. My injury ended up being a defining event in my swimming career. Although my 2019-20 short course season was a source of frustration, as I added time in any race I swam, I realized how much I truly love swimming. This incident taught me how to recover from injury, renewed my dedication to the sport, and I gained a mental toughness not to allow temporary setbacks destroy my goals.
My goals are to be a distance swimmer at an academically competitive university with a strong engineering/science program.
