Personal Statement

Hi I'm Maggie, I am 16 years old and was born in the US but have not lived there since I was two years old. I currently live in Kenya and go to school in South Africa. When most people hear that they assume my parents are missionaries when in fact my father works for an environmental waste management company and my mother is an executive coach.

 Water sports have been important to me since before I can remember and when I saw the option to do one as my first choice sport at school when I started at Somerset in 2023 I threw myself at the opportunity, though I faced challenges in the beginning of my U14 season, in January of 2023, due to an injury I quickly fell in love with the sport and my team and was able to return at full strength, after physical therapy, for my U15 season, in October of 2023. So when I started to think about college, all be it a little early, I knew I had to go somewhere that allowed my to continue the sport that has quickly become so important in my life.

My academic passions include math, science and the arts and I hope to pursue a career in one of these fields.
