I've tried many sports growing up including cheer leading, gymnastics, dance, etc. But I've never had a connection with them as strong as the one I have with swimming. I started in the water at the age of 6 and as soon as I jumped in, I knew it was something I wanted to do. I've swam faithfully every year since then and every coach I've had have told me I have plenty potential and they can see me doing this in the future. I hope for one day to even become a gold medal Olympian.
I plan to get a scholarship to multiple colleges for either academics or swimming. I consider myself a great candidate for this opportunity because I work hard in the classroom as well as in the pool. I am very competitive when it comes to something I want and I have great leadership skills. I also work well with others and even better independently. I am open to criticism and having someone give suggestions as to how I can better my swimming career. I have a great GPA and i plan for it to get even better the farther I go. I'm always looking for ways and opportunities to improve any way I can.
