U16 Start of Seas...Personal Statement
My goal as both a student and an athlete is to reach my full potential. I will not settle for something that isn't my best. In order to get to that point, I need to work as hard as possible, learn from my mistakes, and then celebrate my future successes with family and friends. I may be different from other recruits because I know exactly what I want and the path that I have to take in order to reach it. I love water polo, I love my current career path, and I love having fun.
