Ariyanna Jurkowski '18 Recruiting Profile

Discus throw - Fu...Personal Statement
I love academics and athletics. I have been a straight A student my entire life. I am in the top 15 (approx) in my class of around 600 students. I am involved in tons of extra curricular activities such as the school news, National Honor Society, and many more. I am in AP and Dual Enrollment classes. I love learning and simply will not sacrifice my education for a school that puts athletics first. I have been able to balance school and athletics with no problem and I have been a volunteer at the hospital for 3 years as well. I want a school that is most interested in my classroom performance.
I am very competitive and train hard. I go to the gym in addition to track practice or basketball practice. Although Florida does not have the Javelin, I am looking forward to learning it this summer. I am a fast athlete especially for my height. I don't know anyone who loves school as much as I do, but that does not stop me from a busy social life as well. I am really looking forward to college and the whole experience, it's exciting.
I look forward to learning about your school and what it has to offer, and where I might leave my next mark.
Thanks,
Ari
