Personal Statement
I began swimming at 5 months, won my first swim trophy after 9 meets when I was 3, started with USA swimming at age 5, made finals at the JO in 2019 and went to JO in 2022. (pandemic in between) I am going to be the first to win the 1000 ribbon trophy from my old swim school where I still do meets. My specialty is BR, then FL then FR; I have done Free and Medley relays. I have also done some open water swimming. 2 years as a NB Jr. Guard. I have studied Aikido, a martial art for 9 years.
My GPA is currently a 4.0. I will attend Early College HS which emphasizes academics in a 100% honor's program with college enrollment and credits. I am very interested in the performing arts, although not performing myself: and I like studying art and music history and visiting museums.
My college goals are not fully decided yet, but I am interested in the medical profession and in Psychiatry in particular.
