Next Level U Statement
I am a mature, ambitious, bright (or at least that is what the adults in my life say!), and high energy teenager who makes a strong effort to excel in all spheres of life.
I am a Grade 9 Student-Athlete who is dedicated to working towards my goal of playing for a Division 1 Volleyball program at the university level.
To be honest, I am not quite certain what I want to study in yet, but I know I want to make a difference in the world by helping people (and maybe animals), possibly through psychology.
What I do know is that I take my education and my athletics very seriously. For example, I consistently push myself by playing one year up for a high performance volleyball team (OVA) while maintaining a 95% + overall average. While I have high academic expectations for myself, I am proud to say that I was offered and accepted a full volleyball scholarship from William Academy (Cobourg Campus), a private school registered under the Ontario Ministry of Education. This adventure is a clear testomony of my dedication to both my education and volleyball. In addition, to help me sustain this demanding lifestyle, I have found a well-structured daily nutrition and work out program which allows me to perform at the highest level.
For me, a weakness is a challenge: I commit to improve, persevere and always reach my self-declared goals. Moreover, I take pride in performing in my team sport (volleyball), individual sports (ex: running, horseback riding, motorsports), school, volunteer work (over 200 hours with an animal care company), and professional work (Modeling (ex: Fashion Art Toronto) and an acting (ex: Commercial – Olympics 2024 (SportChek)).
In conclusion, through all of my personal and professional experiences, I have developed a great work ethic, respectful relationship to authority, notable emotional maturity, and amazing teamwork skills. I also possess significant focus and concentration, leadership qualities, resilience, as well as mental and physical strength.
In many ways, I am not your typical young woman; I am a unique human being who has a very balanced life.
