Personal Statement
I have been swimming since I was 7 years old. The first time my parents put me in the pool I knew that this is what I wanted to do in life. I know that swimming in college is a once in a life time opportunity and I really hope you give me the opportunity. I have been swimming at the same club my whole life and I really enjoy it. My favorite part of begin on a team is getting to know the people and the coaches that I'm surrounded by. I love begin a leader and push myself to get better every time I get in the pool. I consider myself to be a really hard worker who is up to most challenges.
Currently, at my school, I maintain a high GPA. In the school year of 2017, I am going to start taking a few more AP class, so I can really push myself in the classroom. As for swimming, I plan to swim for both my USA team and High school team until I leave for college. I also coach for the same swim team, that I swim for. Coaching this past year (winter of 2015) was one of the best experiences that I have every had. I loved helping out to teach the young kids the sport I love.
When its my time to head to college, I want to attend the highest level college as possibly that also gives me a really good education. I really want to attend a school that won't only push me in the classroom, but also in the pool. I hope if I'm given this wonderful opportunity, that I can really grow more as a individual and influence the people around me.
