May 2014Personal Statement
I am a hard worker, self-disciplined and self-motivated person. I always strive for the best in everything I do. I work well with others and pride myself in my ability to work well in a team as well as being a leader with very high morals and work ethic.
While tennis is a very big part of my life, I understand that my ultimate goal is to earn a college degree and pursue a career in pharmacy. Academically, I am ranked in the top 5% of my class of 608 students. I am involved in and am an officer in several clubs at school including National Honor Society, Science National Honors Society, and the Octagon club, all of which have community service as a central theme to their charters.
I have been playing varsity tennis since my freshman year and have over 100 wins at the varsity level with a quarter of my junior and all of my senior year remaining. My personal goal is to achieve 150 wins at the varsity level and place in the top 4 in the double pairings at the Illinois State Tennis Championship my senior year. Our goal this year is to place in the top 8 which is attainable if we play to our potential.
