Felix Blom The difference between me and others is that I do not put a strong emphasis on one aspect of my life. I take both my sports and academics extremely seriously and am very conscientious about how I perform in these aspects of my life. Furthermore, most people who aim to attain a sports scholarship to a university in the US do so in order to further their performance in their sport and ultimately hope to make it a full time career later on in life. I am looking to attain an impressive degree that will allow me to have an enjoyable and successful life in the future. At the same time, I hope to improve my sporting skill and have a successful sporting career which contributes to the overall performance of the college team.
