Sydney Weeks '25 Recruiting Profile

My biggest fear has always been of failure. I have let it hold me back from reaching my goals and prevented me from growing as a person. To overcome this fear, I had to take risks and face my fears head-on. I learned that even if I failed at something, I could still learn valuable lessons from the experience. This gave me the courage to push forward and strive for success.

In addition to overcoming my fear of failure, I have also developed unique skills and qualities that make me stand out from others. I am an excellent communicator and problem solver, as well as a creative thinker. These abilities have helped me excel in various tasks, and they have enabled me to make a difference in the lives of others.  The discipline it takes to commit to swimming and to push yourself through tough workouts improves the ability to commit to schoolwork.  Swimming has taught me that hurdles can be overcome and dedication is the root of success.  I can use the will to succeed to excel in classes. If faced with a demanding assignment, I already have the discipline from countless pool practices to help me through. 

Service to others has also made a tremendous impact on my life. By reaching out to those in need, I have been able to discover my true potential and help make a difference in their lives. This has motivated me to continue giving back and inspiring others to reach their full potential.

Through overcoming my fears, discovering my unique skills and qualities, and dedicating my life to service, I have been able to unlock the power within me. This has taught me that no matter how challenging a situation may be, there is always a way forward. And for this reason, I am determined to never give up and strive for success.
