- 2015 Skills & Highlights
Personal Statement
It’s been a dream of mine to go to America to study and to excel in athletics, which I have great passion for. My collegiate goals are to study for a bachelor’s degree and then a master’s degree in Business economics. I am very interested in this area of study and I believe that my qualities which include determination and perseverance will help me to succeed.
I am looking for a university with a good atmosphere where I can find a balance between my studies and athletics, develop my skills and be a stronger competitor. Although I am very aware that excellent track teams and coaches can be found in all divisions of the NCAA, my aim is to train and compete at the Division 1 level.
I believe that I am a great candidate for any team because of the good qualities I possess. Firstly, I possess good listening skills which is essential to improve and excel. This makes me coachable as I listen constructively to corrections and ideas from my coach. Secondly, I am a dedicated and self motivated person. I am committed to excellence and I always strive to be the best I can be. Although I am very devoted to my sport, I have not lost sight of my true priorities in academia. My education will always come first but becoming the best thrower I can be is a close second. I am also a very trustworthy person with an exemplary character. I hope to become an even better role model to all my peers and also to make my parents proud. These qualities among many others are behind my achievements and successes to date. I also believe they have contributed greatly to my current position as number 1 in UK for the shot put and 2nd in the discus for my age group as well as 16th in Europe for the discus. I have broken several records including the English Schools record, the Sainsbury's UK school Games record, Kent Championships record, London Schools and London Youth Games Record and most importantly a club record that stood for 33 years from former British Olympic shot putter and finalist Myrtle Augee.
What sets me apart from my peers is my ambition, commitment along with my calm and collected character. I am ready to work hard to achieve my dream and will remain steadfast to any purpose I have in mind. I have aspirations of one day competing in the World Championships and the Olympics in both the shot put and discus where I hope to eventually win. I believe that with hard work and dedication I can, without a doubt, get there. With all modesty I believe that I am beauty, brains and talent. I excel socially, academically and athletically.
