2020 Highlights
2022 SpotlightPersonal Statement
At the age of two, my parents put me in swim lessons because my mom was scared of the water and didn't want me to be. My first experience with water did not go well, as I didn't even want my face to get wet. But over time, I began to enjoy being in the water. By the age of five, I was ready to start my journey in the world of competitive swimming. At first, my mom wasn't sure that this was the right decision, but as we were leaving the pool after I made the team, brimming with confidence and a little snarkiness, I turned to her and asked, "You didn't think I could do it, did you?" That determination and perseverance are two of the character traits that have fueled my passion for swimming.
While swimming is at the forefront of my mind, it shares space with my education. I believe that a solid education is necessary for me to accomplish all of my goals both swimming and in my future career path. I would like a high quality education that prepares me for my future career, which is in the medical field. With some scholarship assistance, I would like to swim for a strong Division-1 program. I am seeking the opportunity to be an asset to a well-rounded team and to hopefully have the chance to hone some leadership skills, that will one day help with my future career, by acting as a team captain.
