David Conkling '22 Recruiting Profile

Conscientious,  empathetic and a hard worker are words that adults have used to describe me. The sports that I enjoy the most are tennis, swim and boys volleyball, but I have ran track, played basketball and football, versatility has made me a better athlete. I have held leadership positions since middle school and hope to continue throughout high school.  I have received  the Presidential  Service award every year since 2017 except 2020 since Covid created it's havoc. As an Eagle Scout, I have used this experience to get me to the next levels in my life. I will be able to balance my academics and play volleyball in college because of the rigorous high school that I currently attend. My instructors that I have had in the past 2 years, have taught me humility and resilience.  I have learned  how to manage my time  well and when thrown curve balls, I have learned that I can adapt to any  situation.  My  job as a Life Guard for the past two years  has taught me how to handle unruly  adults and  get through sticky situations to keep guests safe and healthy. I am looking for a team where I will fit in with that places hard work,  good character and being a part of something bigger than myself above all else. Esto Vir!
