I would like to go to the US so that I can be supported in trying to achieve my sporting aspirations, as well as being able to receive an excellent tertiary education which is broad in nature, so will allow me to pursue, for some time, my interests in both the sciences and the arts. In return for this, I would bring to a college team my determination to succeed and my commitment to improving my abilities

4.0 GPA

Selected for Cadet and Junior Asian Championships 2017 Selected for World Cadet Men's Epee & World Junior Men's Epee Championships (Bulgaria - April, 2017) as a fencer at all times through regular training and competition.

I am able to learn very quickly, and respond well to coaching, and to effect change in my game plan when given advice. I take my sport very seriously, and would consider representing a college in sport to be a great honour. I would make appropriate preparations for any fixture, whilst pursuing a broad range of interests and without compromising my commitment to study; something that I

have demonstrated through high school.

I have competed at many international competitions and have gained valuable experience from this.

I enjoy participating in team events and have also helped referee at events held by my club where younger fencers are competing. I enjoy coaching at my school club and hope I have inspired others with my enthusiasm and passion for fencing. I have encouraged fencers to progress from the school club to the local city club to further their own success.
