My personal goal as a high school student athlete is to find a college that will best develop me for the future; academically and physically. Over my three seasons as a varsity wrestler I have learned the value of perseverance. Starting with a difficult season as a freshman varsity heavyweight, my continued hard work and determination led me to being a two time regional qualifier the subsequent seasons. In addition to this valuable lesson, I have seen that my dedication is an inspiration to others. It was, and is, a great honor to serve as team captain both my junior year and upcoming senior year. My ideal college is a small, liberal arts school in a rural community that provides an outstanding educational experience. My desired major is History, specifically US and European History. I also welcome the opportunity to continue my involvement in athletics at the next level.
