I have been swimming competitively since the age of eight. From my first jump in the pool, I knew that I wanted to swim at the collegiate level. I know that swimming in college is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will change my entire life.
I am a very competitive swimmer with the skills and times to succeed at the collegiate level. I am a team leader who leads by example while motivating my teammates. I am coachable and can take--and learn from--criticism. I am an avid swimmer and an assiduous student and quitting is not in my vocabulary.
Outside of the pool, I study hard and set aside time in the day for school work and community service for those in need. I love to help whether as a swim coach for small children or just assisting around the house.
I would like to attend a college that challenges me competitively in the pool and intellectually in the classroom. I am open-minded to all possibilities that will help me pursue my goals. I aspire to be a significant role model to all my peers and make my parents pleased.
