Jonathan Stanzione '21 Recruiting Profile

I am interested in pursuing a degree in Geography, Earth Science or International Studies.  After college, I plan to to serve in the U.S Military to give back to my country. After the military, I want to pursue a career as an Earth Science Teacher.  Swimming, paired with other activities, such as Civil War reenacting, coaching and track and field,  have taught me lessons about teamwork, perseverance, patience,  and team spirit which I can use in the pool and in the classroom.   I have learned to never give up, that obstacles make you work harder to succeed in the future and that individual strengths make a team stronger as a whole.   I am a determined individual.  I have proven that I can overcome challenges in the classroom and have applied this growth mindset to school and swimming.  I have maintained academic excellence and honor roll since 6th grade.  I have been recognized as NYSPHSAA Scholar Athlete in 8th, 9th, and 10th grade and plan to achieve this goal for the remainder of high school.  I have successfully balanced academics with Varsity Swimming,  Track, Club Swimming,  along with being a volunteer swim coach on weekends.
