2022 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I have been swimming on a team ever since I was 8. Ever since my first swim meet, I knew that swimming will be something that I will do my entire life, as I have a huge passion for it. I am competitive and work hard to reach my goals. I continuously push myself and my other teammates to do the very best we can and I also am a good sport. Throughout my life I have been in honors and accelerated courses to challenge myself in school, and I keep up my good grades and test scores even when I am busy with practice and meets.
I have been recognized by my coaches and teachers for both my academic and athletic life, which is why I was selected to be apart of the student athletic leadership team at my school. In this program I learn to become a better leader for my sport.
