Russell Giandomenico '21 Recruiting Profile

My personal statement is simple; I plan to follow in my family's footsteps as a public servant.  I am a patriot and will serve my country by whatever means I can.

I have an amazing work ethic and am extremely goal oriented.  What separates me from other candidates is a lifetime of real-world experience!  As a homeschooled student, I have been fortunate to travel America extensively, as well as numerous other countries.  My family has taught me success is gained through service to others.  In fact, I will be spending my junior summer in Kenya Africa at my parents orphanage- The School of Angels.

I have a passion for water related sports; surfing, swimming and most of all water polo.  I played numerous years of tackle football and baseball.  Most of these years were on travel teams, achieving success at many levels.  When I joined water polo to stay in shape, I had no idea my pitching arm would make such a significant impact on my scoring ability and my team's successes.  The 75 goals I scored as a sophomore (offensive MVP) really motivated me to pursue water polo as my primary sport.  My drive to succeed and my work ethic will help me overcome the fact that I am relatively new to this sport.

I plan to continue my education at the highest levels and to pursue my passion in oceanography.  The world's echo system is being embattled and I hope to make an impact in that war.

I have no doubt that you will be happy choosing me for your program and I assure you I will not let you down.
