Suggestions, comments, advice. It's all greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
Please briefly elaborate on one of your extracurricular activities or work experiences:
My high school water polo and swim coach has taught me the how to succeed in the pool, as well as how to succeed in the classroom and in life. As a coach and a teacher, he has shown me the importance of balancing my time between extracurricular activities and academics. Through the hours spent at Jim Stone pool I have learned the values of commitment and dedication. When I tried to quit the swim team because it seemed too hard, my coach explained to me the commitment I made and encouraged me to keep trying. I finished the season strong and now know the importance of fulfilling my commitments. Some days jumping into a freezing pool was the last thing I wanted to do. But, I did it because it was worth the reward of playing the sport that I love and learning the life-long lessons that I did.
